Public Ecology Mini Film Festival

22-25 June 2022 at the AVA

Public ecology’ is the idea that to address our complex and overlapping environmental issues we need to develop collaborative and integrative ways of thinking and doing things across many different disciplinary boundaries.

It also suggests that ecology is something that we are part of, rather than being something that exists separately, or elsewhere. That we are as much intertwined in the network of relationships that governs the natural world, as we are in those that influence our social and political lives.

The Public Ecology Mini Film Festival brings together a selection of art films, animations, documentaries and sound work that highlight our growing awareness of these many dynamic relationships, especially within an urban context, offering creative engagements with some of the biggest challenges of our time.
