Since 2008, Take One Action Film Festivals have engaged tens of thousands of people with hundreds of world-class films, showcasing inspiring stories that explore issues of global concern and providing training for budding and experienced changemakers.
. . . .
The current global health crisis has forced most festivals to radically re-think their delivery. Once we opted to offer all our screenings and events online, we set out to put together a programme that we would have been excited to share with audiences in cinemas and community venues – and vowed to make the most of the nimbleness a digital festival offers.
Our 2020 edition runs from 16 – 27 September. Like every Take One Action Film Festival, it showcases some of the most urgent, inspiring and challenging international cinema exploring social and environmental justice – but, for the first time, all our films and events can be accessed from anywhere in the UK.

Tackling the climate emergency together
While the coronavirus pandemic has led to radical changes over recent months, the climate emergency hasn’t gone away. Scotland’s Climate Week (14–20 September 2020) aims to promote the message that, together, we can end Scotland’s contribution to climate change. Eco-Congregation Scotland is supporting this special week with organisations across the country, celebrating and sharing what we are all already doing to tackle climate change, supporting a just and green recovery.
Please register now to take part in our own activities below, with a focus on food, a key theme for this Harvest month. We are also holding a range of Climate Conversations to discuss the changes we can make locally and nationally over the next decade to reduce carbon emissions. Please join one of these if you are free this week.You can also register for the Scottish Government's programme of events here:
