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.

The inaugural ‘Make Nice’ Conference is looking for volunteers in the areas of production, styling and managerial positions

What it’s all about:

Make Nice is an event for creative women to learn from creative women in an intimate un-conference environment with an exclusive lineup of creative talent – including Leslie David (FRA), Adi Goodrich (USA), Elizabeth Weinberg (USA), Suzy Tuxen (AUS), and Brodie Lancaster (AUS).

Make Nice will be a casual and informal series of chats and discussions, based on a participant driven, knowledge sharing model with those who have a high level of expertise in their field. As
a not-for-profit platform the inaugural year will be limited to an intimate group of 150 women from across Australia to create a participatory, supportive, and helpful exchange.

Position Details:

– Production Volunteers – must be tech-minded, AV savvy and have a current drivers license.

– Styling Volunteers – must have an interest in interiors, an eye for detail and a current drivers license.

– Front of House Volunteers – must be obscenely friendly, have some kind of customer service experience and ideally an RSA.

All volunteers will get to sit in on the un-conference programming for free and rub shoulders with super impressive creative women.

Apply:

To apply, please provide your CV and a paragraph about why you want to take part in Make Nice to hello@make-nice.com.au with the subject line ‘Skillz Not Billz’. Please let us know if you’re interested in Production, Styling or Front-of-House.

Expressions of interests close Monday, 9 May at 11:59pm. Only successful applicants will be notified.
