Off The Grid Screening

Leave a comment

posterAward winning film ‘Off The Grid’ will be playing at the end of next month, Thursday 30th July in Darlinghurst. The event includes live music, chocolate tasting and an Indian Buffet Dinner and costs $35 in total for students.

A bit about the film:

From 2011 to 2013 Jonathan Taggart (Director) and Phillip Vannini (Producer) spent two years travelling across Canada to find 200 off-gridders and visit them in their homes. They met off-gridders in every single province and territory and through their film they narrated our travels and chronicled in depth the experiences, challenges, inventions, aspirations, and ways of life of people who have chosen to radically re-invent daily life in a dramatically innovative but also quite traditional way.

Life Off Grid is a film about people who have chosen to build their lives around renewable energy, with beautiful, inspiring, and often challenging results.
