The Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience presents the Exploring Risk Film Festival, 4th May 2022

A celebration of science, story-telling and how to believe in a better world.

The Exploring Risk Film Festival is a celebration of science, story-telling, and how to believe in a better world. Hosted by the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience, the festival asks filmmakers to consider hazards to human life, society and wellbeing and how we might imagine a just, safe and sustainable future.

The Exploring Risk Film Festival invites makers and viewers to consider what is missing from how we understand and communicate human struggles with global significance. 

If you have a film ready to submit, then you can use the form on Film Freeway. If you want to learn about how to create a film for the festival, you can attend the free, online, Digital Storytelling workshops.

The 2022 festival is made up of four parts. There are three focused sessions on the ‘climate emergency’, ‘lockdown experiences and struggles ‘and ‘drought, floods and volcanic ash’, each followed by a discussion panel of experts. The final section of the festival will be a feature film “The Salt in Our Water” followed by a Q&A session with the director.

The Film Festival will take place on the 4th May both in room TLC033, The Learning Centre, Durham and online from 10:00 to 17:00. The full programme of the festival is available on the Exploring Risk website.
