The Clean Bin Project MOVIE NIGHT
Is it possible to live completely waste free?
In this multi-award winning festival favourite, partners Jen and Grant go head to head in a competition to see who can swear off consumerism and produce the least garbage. Their light-hearted competition is set against a darker examination of the problem of waste. Even as Grant and Jen start to garner interest in their project, they struggle to find meaning in their miniscule influence on the large-scale environmental impacts of our “throw-away society”. This film is a fun and inspiring call to individual action that speaks to crowds of all ages.
Join us as we celebrate Plastic Free July at the Library. Cape to Cape Plastic Free presenter, Nirala Hunt, will offer a question and answer session after the film. All welcome to this family friendly movie night. Spaces are limited so please book.

Alzheimers WA presents MOVIE NIGHT at the library
Monday 24th July. Screening starts at 6pm followed by light refreshments at 7:15pm
This stirring documentary follows social worker Dan Cohen, founder of the non-profit organisation Music & Memory, as he fights against a broken healthcare system to demonstrate music’s ability to combat memory loss and restore a deep sense of self to those suffering from it. Rossato-Bennett visits family members who have witnessed the miraculous effects of personalized music on their loved ones, and offers illuminating interviews with experts including renowned neurologist and best-selling author Oliver Sacks (Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain) and musician Bobby McFerrin (“Don’t Worry, Be Happy”). An uplifting cinematic exploration of music and the mind, ALIVE INSIDE’s inspirational and emotional story left audiences humming, clapping and cheering at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award.
Spaces are limited in the library cinema so please RSVP
