Through a series of moving image works centred around the theme of ecology, this programme explores the issues of environmental protection and sustainability globally and locally. 'Thinking Global, Acting Local: Ecology on Film' presents five feature films and five short films comprising documentaries, fiction features, experimental films, and artists’ films. In addition, the programme brings audiences an eye-opening insight into the world from a non-human perspective through four selected screenings.

The programme covers three themes. ‘Thinking Global: Manufacturing and Consumption’ examines the environmental cost of economic development in today’s globalised world. ‘Acting Local: Ecology from a Hong Kong Perspective’ focuses on the decline of Hong Kong’s fishing and agricultural industries and the hoarding of land by real estate developers. ‘Looking at the World from a Non-human Perspective’ offers a critical take on humanity’s anthropocentric worldview and explores the relationship between humans and nature through the lens of the animal kingdom.
