Excerpts from the winning films for The Outlook for Someday competition will be presented as part of an I AM TV special this Saturday 30 May at 10am. The Outlook for Someday is a film challenge for young New Zealanders aged 6 to 20. This year’s event asked the question: “What does sustainability mean for the world and for you? What does it mean for your community or neighbourhood? What do you want to say about it?” 70 films were submitted in this year’s competition, and there were 20 winners, selected by judges who work in television, education and youth development. Excerpts from these winning 20 films will be screened this weekend. The films range from a comedy about bike pooling to an animation about the impact of cities on our mental health; from documentaries about growing your own food, the effects of plastic bags and the power of street protest to a mockumentary about the environmental effects of farming in Ashburton.
