Film into Action competition: prize winners
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.
