Fort William - Highland Cinema

5.15 pm today! Sunday 22nd March

If you're in the Fort William area, come to the cinema... watch the film to find out how communities in southern Europe are fighting back against fascism, fires, and big business. Stay for the discussion about what’s inspiring you where you are.

So many local topics covered so far in Scotland, including:
#SalmonFarming
#WindPower
#Wildfires
#GrouseShooting
#PeatBogs

And the global societal problem of AI, including the local success of stopping a data centre in Edinburgh.

Community Discussion on themes from Fires and Fascism: and how people are fighting back to create change.

The film shows communities responding to the threats of fires, big business, organised crime, and the far right, igniting hope and becoming more resilient.

Watch the film online via the link https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/donation-form/watch-fires-and-fascism (if you can) before coming to the Library on Saturday to discuss local and global issues and anything you feel resonates from the film. If you can’t watch the film first then please come along anyway - the discussion is fuelled by local perspectives.

We know that fuel and community energy are on people’s minds especially in Scotland. The question of who benefits reveals why community power in every sense is most important.

What else is happening on Skye? The film shows action from #protest to #permaculture. What projects are going on in #Portree and what else is there space or need for?

Im Londoner Bezirk #Hackney versorgt ein Pilotprojekt #Sozialwohnungen über lokale #Mikrogrids mit #Solarstrom.

Nach regulatorischen Anpassungen können #Haushalte direkt beliefert werden und sparen laut Council rund 15 Prozent bei den #Energiekosten. Das Modell soll auf weitere Gebäude ausgeweitet werden. Auch landesweit wächst die Zahl von #CommunityEnergy-Initiativen.
