A NEW film festival set to be held in South East Cornwall next month is aiming for ‘lights, camera, climate action’ as it highlights what is being done on a global and local stage to protect the environment.

The Forgotten Corner Film Festival is set to take place on the Rame Peninsula on February 16-17. With a wide variety of screenings, from low-budget community films to international game-changers, there will also be talks, music, information about environmental initiatives taking place locally, a junk food café and even a sound bath. 

The event is being organised by local beach cleaning and marine conservation group Rame Peninsula Beach Care (RPBC).

Donations from the event will help raise funds for RPBC, as well as the Old Ship social housing project in Cawsand, and the Joy Rescue project, a Kenyan NGO working to support low income families.
