Social docos screening in Sydney

27 July 2011 | 0:00 - By Julia Scott-Stevenson

I’m still keeping an eye on the levels of high fructose corn syrup in my grocery shopping items, having been led by watching the documentary Food, Inc. to go rifling through my cupboards on the hunt for unsustainable and unhealthy products (more on this in a previous post). For anyone else interested in finding out exactly to what extent major food corporations have us all by the short and curlies, Food, Inc. is screening at a special event run by Social Innovation Sydney on 28th July. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion on the local food situation (as the film is US-focused). More details here.

Also coming up in Sydney is a special screening of The Hungry Tide, Tom Zubrycki’s latest doco about climate change impacts in the Pacific Island of Kiribati. If you didn’t catch it at the Sydney Film Festival (see my interview with Zubrycki here), Friday August 5th is your chance. It’s showing at the Chauvel Cinema in Paddington, entry by donation.

About this Blog

Julia Scott-Stevenson Julia is a writer and researcher of all things documentary, and even dabbles in making them herself from time to time. She lived in the Pacific Islands of Fiji and Samoa for a few years, where she made a documentary about the inaugural Miss Tokelau beauty pageant and a short documentary about climate change in Samoa, which screened at the inaugural Pacific Climate Change Film Festival. While in the Pacific she was subjected to limited internet connectivity, and was staggered to discover the possibilities in online documentary on her return at the end of 2008. She has since been making up for lost time by undertaking a PhD researching cross-platform documentary, and also working on a database documentary about volunteers. Julia is also on the programming team for Antenna International Documentary Film Festival.
