In 2040, award-winning director Damon Gameau embarks on a journey to explore what the future could look like by the year 2040 if we simply embraced the best solutions already available to us to improve our planet and shifted them rapidly into the mainstream.

Hello everyone,

A reminder about Earth Film Nights starting this evening, 23 March, at 6.30pm at the Queen Mary Auditorium (followed by tea).

Our first documentary **Final Straw** takes us on a journey through Japan, Korea and the United States, turning our perceptions of food and life upside down in an amazingly simple and poetic way.

A meditative yet stunning survey of age-old ideas about food, ecological connectedness, and personal happiness, this deeply touching film weaves together insightful interviews and majestic landscapes with an eclectic original soundtrack.
The warm cast of natural farmers, chefs and teachers together illuminate a brilliant yet maddeningly simple path to sustainability and well being for people and the environment.

Four years in the making, Final Straw is a film that will leave you inspired, happier, and perhaps even motivated to make a few changes in your own.

You can still reserve your seats at:

We look forward to seeing you later. 💚

Welcome to a new edition of Earth Film Nights on Gozo. Our first movie FinalStraw takes us on a breathtaking journey to reconnect. John us.

𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗔𝗥 𝗘𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗣𝗦𝗘 𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗧! 🚀
EARLY MORNING MONDAY 16 MAY 2022

For all early risers, you can enjoy a 𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗔𝗥 𝗘𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗣𝗦𝗘 from the islands in the wee hours of Monday 16 May. Best viewed from the west coast with a clear view to the horizon. The moon will set during totality. See Timings below in CET. The Partial Eclipse starts at 𝟰.𝟮𝟳𝗮𝗺.

𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘊𝘌𝘛
𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗨𝗠𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗟 Eclipse begins: 03:32
𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗟 Eclipse begins: 04:27
𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗟 Eclipse begins: 05:29
Visibile 𝗠𝗔𝗫𝗜𝗠𝗨𝗠 Eclipse: 05:55
𝗠𝗢𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗘𝗧: 05:57
Real 𝗠𝗔𝗫𝗜𝗠𝗨𝗠 Eclipse: 06:11 (below horizon)
𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗟 Eclipse ends: 06:53 (below horizon)
Totality Duration: 2 hours 26 minutes

A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the Earth's shadow. The Penumbral Eclipse first casts a light shadow over the moon, followed by the Total Eclipse when the Moon can no longer reflect the sun's rays. During Totality the moon is usually visible as a red orb in the sky but with the predawn light this will be a case of a disappearing moon! A thrill to watch, especially for children.

𝗟𝗬𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗦 𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥 ☄️

The meteor shower is due to peak this night (22-23 April 2022). The radiant will rise due North East and the best time to watch is after midnight when the Lyrids peak with a frequency of around 10-18 per hour. Conditions are not ideal as we're approaching a last quarter Moon. Moonrise is at 2:17am.

The Lyrids Meteor Shower is caused by the debris trail of the Comet (not the Margaret one). The radiant, or the point where the majority of the meteors appear to be originating from, falls close to the constellation Lyra, hence the name, Lyrids.

Meteor showers are observed with the naked eye. No telescope or binoculars. Find a dark spot, lie on your back and look up at the night sky to the right of the bright star Vega (but not only). Remember meteors are transient natural phenomena so just chill and be happy when you catch one shooting across the dark sky. Happy Meteor-watching!
