Could Eating Bugs Save the Planet?

Tasmanian Eco Films Festival
17-20 November 2016

The 2016 Tasmanian eco Film Festival is will be exploring this question at it’s highly anticipated closing night eco-dinner.

Award-winning guest chef Matt Stone (Formally of Greenhouse, Silo and zero waste café Brothl), is arguably one of Australia’s most innovative, eco conscious chefs, and is travelling to Hobart to create an amazing vegan gourmet degustation with optional insect dishes for the ticketed event.

“I can’t say they are on our dinner menu at home but a large part of the world already eats insects as a high source of vitamins and protein in their diets. “ TeFF director Kyia Clayton said.

“And with our closing night eco dinner having a particular focus on ‘LOW ECO FOOTPRINT’ dining, insects were a natural choice!”

Held over four days from the 17 – 20 of November, this year’s festival promises to be even more engaging and diverse than the highly successful inaugural festival last year.

Festival-goers will be treated to nine film screenings at the State Cinema – of which five are Australian premiere screenings

TeFF is an eco-themed, apolitical film festival offering a combination of high-art eco films and VIP events held at various venues across Hobart.
