The second film in this NW film series examining the intersection of Peak Oil, Climate Change and Building Community Resilience. Tonight we will be showing the The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990, Cuba over night found its supply of oil imports cut by more than half. Like virtually all countries, Cuba's infrastructure was highly dependent on access to abundantly available, cheap fossil fuels. With that life line severely damaged, Cuba had to look to create a new low-energy society, including moving away from fossil fuel intensive farming and a highly industrial society. This film, told by the Cuban people, looks at the creativity, cooperation and community that came together to triumph over adversity.

In Transition cover‘In Transition’ is the first detailed film about the Transition movement filmed by those that know it best, those who are making it happen on the ground. The Transition movement is about communities around the world responding to peak oil and climate change with creativity, imagination and humour, and setting about rebuilding their local economies and communities. It is positive, solutions focused, viral and fun.

In Transition cover 2‘In Transition’ has been shown in communities around the world to enthusiastic audiences, and is now available as a special edition 2 disc DVD set, beautifully packaged in entirely compostable packaging, featuring the film itself and an embarrassment of outtakes and extras, with interviews, films about Transition you’ve been searching high and low for quality copies of, and other gems. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in this new take on responding to the challenges of the 21st century.
