Film: Beans On Screen
As part of Take One Action Film Festival, Platform are hosting a film screening about the power of beans and the benefits of growing, cooking and eating together as a community.
About Film: Beans On Screen
Join us for the film screening, talks and delicious food all focused around the humble bean, food justice, climate and neighbourhood.
Together we will watch New Zealand film Together We Grow as well as a short film from the Beans on Screen project which has taken place in Easterhouse over the summer and hear from Nourish about their exciting Public Diners pilot.
Together We Grow (2022, New Zealand)
What do you get when you combine a community cafe, a community grocer and a community bike works? Plus a repair cafe, a sewing workshop, garden sharing, and a honey-making enterprise?
Common Unity! A truly wonderful example of the importance of the community in tackling issues like social isolation and food insecurity. And in building the social connections and social relationships so important to health and life.
In Together We Grow we get to know a group of community members doing the important work of caring for others and building community resilience. It’s a community hub of learning, support, creativity, joy, sharing and shared interest, all in one place.
The Beans on Screen project is funded by a Healthy Planet, Healthy People grant from the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
The film will feature FARE Community Allotments.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
