Earthnotes gives special attention to the subject of oceans and water (Blue Earth). However, screenings also include documentaries on global issues such as climate change and urbanisation (Global Notes) and African coastal and inland landscapes (African Notes). A list of the films in each section is provided below. You will also find a description of each documentary, by clicking on any of the three section headings. Discussion on the topics featured can be stirred up by a questions and answers session following the screening, and can also continue on the DLIST discussion forum beyond the festival.
