A group of Dawlish residents, Dawlish business people and a local councillor are set to lead the way on the launch of Dawlish Transition with a free film night on Thursday 24^th February, 7-9 pm, Red Rock Centre, Sandy Lane, Dawlish.

The group will be showing  films that explain the issues we face, how we can take action, and afterwards a Q&A session event to enable people to find out more about getting involved and taking this to the next level.

Films showing are Power of the Community and Message in the Waves, with guest speakers:  Antony Turner,  Carbon Sense Foundation & Teign Estuary Transition, and Ben Bryant, Teignbridge Recycling Officer (Dawlish Bag Campaign).

We screened AVATAR as the first in our Film into Action season, and set a competition for people attending.

Congratulations to Cath, John and Mike for creating the winning response to our Avatar competition. The questions were If you were Jake and returned to Earth after living on Pandora, 1) what would you most want to change? And 2) how would you do this?

Cath, John and Mike’s answers were 1) “People’s attitude that everything can be bought for a price” and 2) “Start at the bottom through educating kids who will be the future”. Their prize is a voucher for kayak-hire kindly donated by SeaSports Southwest.

There will be further screenings later this year.

We’re screening AVATAR (PG-13) as part of our new Film into Action season.

Why aren’t we showing any of the usual dull documentaries?  Come along and see AVATAR (again) and find out why this Hollywood blockbuster is relevant to our daily lives and the Transition Movement.

Please join us at Teignmouth Community College on Saturday 20^th November, starting at 1.30pm. Entry is free; donations welcome. If you’d like to print out a copy of our poster to display, a copy is available here.

Funded through a ‘Making it happen’ grant from Teignbridge Strategic Partnership and with support from Teignmouth Film Society.  We are also grateful for help from SeaSports Southwest and Sheila Tibbs for donating prizes.
