Xuanlin Tham, Take One Action 2022 Programmer said: “In these years of increasing chaos, we find solace and inspiration in the power of storytelling: in the way that a dark room and a bright screen can bring us closer to the people we share this earth with.”

Last year, the festival focused on films that dealt with climate change ahead of the Cop26 climate conference in Glasgow.

All tickets are available on a pay-what-you-can basis. More details here.
