Living With Climate Change
Living With Climate Change
Info
Client: Brimbank City Council
Produced: 2012
Length: 25.01 minutes
How can we adapt to climate change in Australia? This 25 minute film looks to migrant communities in Melbourne’s west, who are living lives of practical sustainability.
As we struggle to understand what impacts climate change will have on us here in Australia, and how we need to adapt, this film draws inspiration from migrant communities who already know what climate change is like. Commissioned by Brimbank City Council, in Melbourne’s multicultural inner west, the film highlights members of the Burmese, Sudanese, Vietnamese and Indian communities of Brimbank. Based on a broader engagement and research program being conducted by the municipality, we interviewed ten community representatives, telling a positive story of sustainability and change through a series of vignettes. The 25 minute film was produced in collaboration with Designscope.
