A new short film (15 mins) about local food will be shown at the International Film Festival in Maleny this Saturday, 2nd February 2008. The film, Think Global : Eat Local - a diet for a sustainable society, was filmed, directed and edited by Morag Gamble and Evan Raymond. It will be shown along with a number of other locally produced short films.

Think Global : Eat Local is a celebration of local food systems in communities around the world - farmers markets, food box systems, food coops, community farms, community gardens and school gardens. The film touches on many of the issues caused by and impacting our current unsustainable food system and points to the relocalisation of food systems as a key strategy for working toward sustainability, social justice and well-being.
