Every Can Counts

Can Film Festival

Empties for entry!

Can Film Festival 2012 will kick off during Go Green Week in February and is open throughout the academic year to any university or college keen to take part. Here is all the information you’ll need to hold your own Can Film screening, offering film-goers the chance to see a free film in exchange for a couple of empty drinks cans.

All the information you need can be found in the Organiser’s Guide, along with hints and tips to get your event up and running. Posters can be downloaded and adapted to include your own logos, messages and event details – spread the word by putting these up around your college or university. We also have additional resources available on a first come first served basis to help organise and run your event, or even act as spot prizes if you are planning a competition.

Why the Can Film Festival?

We all know how important it is to recycle. Even so, of the 9.4 billion drinks cans sold in the UK every year, around half still end up in landfill sites, wasting precious resources and energy, as well as contributing to rising CO2 levels. By running a Can Film Festival you can communicate the value of these cans and encourage people to think again when they’re choosing what to do with their empties.

Want to attend an event?

You can gain entry to film screenings at universities and colleges across the country and all you have to do is bring along a couple of empty drinks cans. Look out for Can Film Festival posters and information on your university notice boards and website.
