Kangaroo is a groundbreaking film that reveals the truth surrounding Australia's love-hate relationship with its beloved icon that is proudly displayed, yet considered as pests to be shot by some and sold for profit. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with writer/director Mick Mcintyre, facilitated by actress and passionate vegan advocate Arianwen Parkes-Lockwood.
Dominion exposes the dark underbelly of modern animal agriculture through drones, hidden and handheld cameras. It explores the morality and validity of our dominion over the animal kingdom. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with writer/director Chris Delforce, facilitated by animal activist and clinical psychologist Apoorva Madan.
The
Children's Activities Corner is where families and children can relax and have fun. There'll be animal themed activities for the kids with a target age group of 5-12 years, but younger children (accompanied by an adult) and older kids are welcome too. A limit of 10-15 children exists in the workshop area. Stay tuned and updated for more details on the activities that'll be running on the day via the
Facbeook and
event page and its
discussion section. Same goes for the
Monster Raffle for details closer to time.
One of the features of the festival is a digital exhibition display of photography by Veronica Rios. Raised a vegetarian and later turning vegan, find her beautiful work,
The Forgotten Photography on the large screen at the DJ booth. It features the photos she's taken of animal victims to agriculture.
DJs Milky T and Stevie Dub will be providing entertainment of the musical kind throughout the day, with a focus on smooth, chilled tunes that'll add a whole other level to the awesome CFF atmosphere. Milky T hails from Sydney's inner west and plays a selection of sexy vintage vinyl that ranges from 50s to 70s, spanning RnB, garage, psych-rock, soul, funk, rockabilly, mod and surf rock. Stevie Dub is a reggae aficionado and plays a mix of soul, funk, reggae, RnB and Calypso.
