World Environment Day film screening

Next date: Thursday, 04 June 2026 | 06:00 PM to 08:00 PM

Join us for a special World Environment Day film screening and community conversation exploring environmental activism, connection to Country and the power of local action.

Presented in partnership with Environmental Films Australia, the evening will feature 2 inspiring short films, Sea Country - Malu Lag and Outpicker, followed by a conversation with guest speakers and opportunities for community connection and discussion.

About the films

Sea Country - Malu Lag follows a Torres Strait Islander community on the remote island of Masig as they fight to protect their home, culture and future from the impacts of climate change. The film explores the healing power of the ocean, deep connection to Country and one woman’s journey advocating for the place she loves.

Outpicker shares the story of a Chinese queer immigrant in Melbourne who discovers belonging, connection and purpose through community litter picking. Through small acts of environmental care, the film highlights the importance of community, inclusion and taking local action.

Together, these films offer both local and broader perspectives on environmental advocacy and activism, celebrating storytelling, community resilience and the many ways people can create positive change.

Discussion

Following the screenings, attendees are invited to stay for a facilitated discussion with Lesley Le Luo and Jing from Outpicker, light refreshments and opportunities to connect with local community and environmental groups.
