Screen a Film About Relocalization Issues
- Synopsis -
Film screenings and film festivals are a valuable tool for raising community awareness about energy, environmental and other issues related to Relocalization. They can also be valuable opportunities to spur discussion about local issues, announce and promote local projects and organizations, and even raise fund for sponsoring groups.

The scripts are designed as guidelines. Just as each theatre company’s production of Hamlet is different, each group will interpret the scripts differently. Groups can interpret a project to reflect their community’s particular needs and interests. As more groups begin experimenting, we will be able to develop our pool of resources, information and research on relocalization efforts. The Relocalization Network at relocalize.net provides space for this information sharing under the resource menu item. The more groups document and add content to the website, the more useful these relocalization experiments will be.
The key to using these Action Scripts successfully is to adapt them to your group’s needs, time availability and skill level. Take on project that are attainable and measurable. And above all, choose projects that inspire and excite your group.

Relocalization Actions
These are great ideas but I think that the approach suggested does not take account of the difficulty of overcoming the natural barriers to participating. We live in very isolated pockets of small social groups and we need a big pull to take part in these activities. One way is to get together, face-to-face where the enthusiasm of some people can infect others. There are several groups around West Chester where I live but they are not easy to join. The White Dog cafe in Philadelphia provides a great place to meet and find others who want to take action.
I have tried posting blogs before and have had nil response to requests for people with similar interests to contact me. I don't think it's my personality that is stopping the replies - just people's natural reluctance to be out-going.
Despite the obvious imperatives of the coming post-carbon world we don't know how to organize ourselves to take action. Several Post-Carbon groups have collapsed. Where are all those sociology majors that can help us?
Please blog back :-)
