The 5th Annual SA Eco Film Festival returns to Cape Town and surrounds.
With engaging and thought provoking films, expert speakers and audience interaction the Festival seeks to explore environmental issues and themes. What changes are needed? How can our personal change affect the world for better (or worse!). In our first 4 years we have been proud to showcase challenging, intriguing and creative film content from SA and across the World highlighting issues that effect us all, whilst introducing participants, filmmakers and audience members alike to sustainable living choices and life style changes that are available, today. In our 5th year we hope to continue to increase the impact of our Festival.
