Gardens, Cape Town - The Labia Theatre
Monday 31 March
The 2014 Cape Town Eco Film Festival will take place at the Labia Theatre on Orange Street in Cape Town, South Africa from Thursday the 27th of March to Monday the 31st of March.
This inaugural event is the first of what will hopefully become a vibrant, annual festival that brings the best local and international documentary films focusing on environmental issues to Cape Town.
The Festival offers Capetonians the opportunity to enjoy the latest crop of world-class environmental documentaries, many of which are very unlikely to ever make it onto the commercial cinema circuit in South Africa.
Documentary films represent a powerful medium for communicating the growing ecological challenges with which we are faced today – from climate change and pollution to plummeting biodiversity and diminishing natural resources.
The films we select for the Festival programme offer insights and inspiration for change and we hope that the screenings will encourage the audience to tackle these challenges personally, as well as promoting public debate and raising awareness about important local and global environmental issues.
