Saturday August 9 sees the return of BIEPA’s Yarun EcoFlix Saturday Afternoon Film Festival—an inspiring event bringing together film lovers, environmental advocates, and creative minds for an afternoon of cinema and connection.
Five Films to Entertain and Inspire
Following the success of last year’s event, Yarun EcoFlix continues its mission to explore how short film can inspire environmental awareness and action right here on Bribie Island. This year’s program features five powerful films from around Australia and the world, each offering a unique lens on our relationship with the natural world. Message of the Lyrebird – This year’s feature explores the mysteries, memories, and mythologies surrounding one of Australia’s most iconic songbirds.
The Oyster Gardener – A story of marine restoration blending traditional knowledge, science and community.
The Man of the Trees – A celebration of one man's quiet journey of planting 1 million trees.
Land Without Evil – A visually poetic reflection on nature and ecological connection.
Rising Tide: Turning the Ship – A compelling documentary highlighting grassroots efforts and collective action driving the shift toward a sustainable future.
Meet the Filmaker: Mark Pearce–Message of the Lyrebird
Directed by Mark Pearce—Message of the Lyrebird features stunning cinematography, and delves deep into the lyrebird’s mimicry, its intimate role in forest ecology, and the ancient human-animal connections that still echo through Australia’s forests today.
Filmmaker Mark Pearce will join the festival for a special panel session, sharing insights into the making of his film and exploring how storytelling can strengthen conservation campaigns. Mark will also be signing copies of his beautiful coffee-table book, a perfect complement to the film.
