At 12.15pm is Between the devil and the deep blue sea, a moving film looking at the circumstance and decisions that lead someone to become a 'boat person'. Then there is a half hour break during which time a delicious lunch including a variety of soups and other savouries, as well as cakes and slices, will be available for a donation.

The new hit Frackman the Movie screens at 1.45pm. This film follows the exploits of former construction worker turned anti-fracking activist Dayne Pratzky as he responds to the expansion of the coal seam gas industry near Tara, Qld. At 3.20 is another Australian film, State of Siege, which focuses in particular on the former ALP NSW Government's unpopular planning laws and contains some interesting archival footage.

At 4.30pm is Lucent, the feature-length documentary about the vast yet largely unseen suffering inherent in Australia's pig farming industry. To lift the spirits, at 6.25pm it's The Apple Pushers. This documentary has received rave reviews and follows immigrant street vendors who are rolling fresh fruits and vegetables into the inner cities of New York (where finding a fresh red ripe apple can be a serious challenge). Through the lens of their powerful and deeply personal stories, the film examines such hot-button issues as food access, the obesity crisis, immigration, entrepreneurship, and what it really takes to achieve the American Dream. It has been kindly lent to the organisers by Cooma Community Garden, who have the rights to show it through other community groups. Finally, and if people are keen, there will some short films to finish off the evening, starting at 8.30pm.

The festival is being hosted by Braidwood Greens at the National Theatre in Braidwood and entry is free. People are welcome to see as many or as few films as they choose, but the doors will be closed just before the start of each movie, so viewers need to make sure they are there a few minutes before the advertised screening time.
