Vernon Library hosts film festival

Feb 4, 2020 | 11:10 AM

The Vernon Library is hosting the annual Sustainability Film Festival on Thursdays of this month.

The Sustainability Film Fest features a different film every Thursday and will be held in the Vernon branch library meeting room at 6:30 p.m. These are free events and everyone is welcome. Seating is limited so plan to arrive a bit early.

“Join us on Thursday evenings in February for thought provoking film watching and engaging discussion. We invite you to join us each week in February as we screen a film and host a discussion afterwards,” a news release from the Sustainable Environment Network Society (SENS) said.

This year’s film festival is co-sponsored by SENS, the Regional District of North Okanagan, Vernon Permaculture, and in partnership with the National Film Board of Canada.

February 6 – Metamorphosis. Metamorphosis captures the true scale of the global environmental crisis. But this crisis is also an opportunity for transformation. Through a tidal flow of stunning images, Metamorphosis carves a path from the present to the future, and offers a bold new vision for humanity and the world. The screening of this film is in partnership with the National Film Board of Canada.
