The newly rebranded Documentary Edge Festival (DEF) will run an environmental strand under the banner Eco-Warriors, featuring five films. Environmentalism is the new religion, a topic which divides opinion and sells tickets ever since An Inconvenient Truth gave Al Gore a new lease on life, so it makes sense to have a section dedicated to satisfy people’s thirst for carbon zero filmmaking and attract the green dollar.
Three of the five films featured have a distinctly nautical theme, focusing on different aspects of life and death in the briny.
