The goal of the film festival is to raise awareness of climate change
and its impact on the earth system and the human societies. We are at
a critical stage of the UNFCCC negotiation which will conclude in
Copenhagen December this year. Looking at the state of the climate
change, the result of the UNFCCC meeting in Copenhagen will have long

and the effect of our collective action or inaction on the future
generations to come.
