CCCL Film Festival Makes a Comeback at Lido Connect and The Jim Thompson Art…

The Changing Climate, Changing Lives (CCCL) Film Festival is back at Lido Connect and The Jim Thompson Art Center from June 12-21, inviting audiences to explore the climate crisis through the lens of filmmakers, artists, and storytellers. Rather than inundating viewers with graphs and reports, the festival aims to spark conversations about the impact of a warming planet on everyday life.

CCCL offers a diverse selection of films, including fiction, animation, and experimental cinema, to showcase the urgent and imaginative aspects of climate discourse. Emerging directors from across the globe present stories that shed light on the experiences of communities and young individuals most affected by environmental changes, challenging audiences to contemplate not only what is being lost but also what can be preserved.

This year’s lineup blurs the lines between personal reflection and collective responsibility, urging viewers to consider the importance of protecting our environment. Some films offer glimpses of hope, highlighting resilience, local knowledge, and creative solutions amid a rapidly evolving world. In addition to film screenings, the festival features panel discussions, talks, and networking sessions that provide attendees with the opportunity to engage with filmmakers, activists, and like-minded individuals to continue the dialogue beyond the cinema.

Changing Climate, Changing Lives runs at Lido Connect and The Jim Thompson Art Center from June 12-21. Admission is free, but seats must be reserved in advance. Don’t miss this chance to immerse yourself in thought-provoking stories that offer unique perspectives on the climate crisis and inspire action towards a sustainable future.
