COPENHAGEN: A short film highlighting the impact of climate change on the Barrier Reef has made its global premiere in Copenhagen.
The film is produced by New South Wales far south coast filmmakers ToniHousten and Bettina Richter, both of whom are in the Danish capitalfor the event.
The screening was the only Australian contribution to the cultural program that forms part of the United Nations’ climate change conference in theDanish capital.
Ms Housten says it is a significant historic event.
“Oh it’s amazing, to have brought this idea from its genesis a year ago in theBega Valley and having such support where we come from and the success of our fundraiser and all of the support from our community right through to this incredible conference in Copenhagen, we’re just thrilled” she said.
She says the film’s screening has played a tiny part in the effort to reduceglobal warming.
“We went to the massive demonstration with over 100,000 people,” she said.
“There’s a real mix of what’s possible and the conflict of agendas and the spirit and sense of can we get these agreements?”
The pair hope to secure a worldwide distributor for the film at the festival.
