Zeitgeist: Harnessing The Storms Of Change

​This interactive workshop will consider the CFF zeitgeist from festival conversation with audiences and filmmakers and the films we’ve shared. Explore strategies for crafting rich climate narratives for the screen. Identify: burning questions that can motivate a climate story. Learn: research methods and narrative strategies that reflect the complexity of our climate-changed world. We’ll examine the role stories play in fostering empathy, shifting perceptions, and inspiring audiences in meaningful dialogue to drive civic engagement. Please bring a notebook and a pen–we’ll have writing prompts to get your imagination going and to spark discussion around the future we want to create.
