Festival Finale: How to Live on Earth

This year’s closing film is a visually stunning and hopeful film that shows us glimpses of a future in which nature thrives, and so do we. 

Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, How to Live on Earth takes us around the world to meet remarkable people exploring how we can live differently by treating nature as an ally, instead of something to be exploited. From forest rangers and former office workers to Indigenous rights activists, their stories invite us to consider our own power to make a difference. How can we feed ourselves sustainably? How can a community persuade political leaders to clean up local rivers? What happens when ordinary people decide to take action?

To round out the evening, there will be a raffle packed with locally sourced and sustainable prizes, generously donated by community-minded businesses and organisations.

Whether you’re already part of the climate action community or simply curious about what’s possible, come along to connect, be inspired and discover how our own local actions can help shape a flourishing future for Nelson Tasman.

Drinks and snacks available at the bar from 5.15, film begins at 6pm.
