The 13th annual Be the Change Film Series begins in Collingwood next week.
Biweekly outdoor showings will take place at 8:00pm every second Tuesday through the rest of the summer outdoors at The Collingwood Brewery on Sanford Fleming Drive.
Then at the end of September, the movie screenings will move indoors for 5:30pm and 7:30pm showings for the remainder of the season.
“Attendees have always loved our selection of films,” observes Kathleen Knoll, a Watershed Trust BTC Committee member. “The outdoors aspect is something new, lots of fun, and being at the Collingwood Brewery of course you have the option of enjoying a beer, a glass of wine and other refreshments with and without alcohol. Just don’t forget to bring a folding chair!”
This year’s film line-up is stellar, with something for everyone. BTC is a family-friendly event, at $12 for adults, $7 for students and children are free.
The first movie, Why We Cycle, is followed 2 weeks later by Edible City, a movie focused on urban farming, followed in turn by The Radicals, which tracks a group of B.C. snowboarders and surfers as they learn the meaning of ‘radicalism’ from different groups across the province.

Proceeds from BTC benefit local environmental education programs organized by The Blue Mountain Watershed Trust, a Collingwood-based environment-focused charity entering its 26th year.
The BTC Film Series is designed to unite the Collingwood and surrounding communities around a variety of environment-centric issues. Provocative, carefully chosen films are selected around themes such as growing food sustainably, resource extraction and climate change.
