You might enjoy this… it is a short film documenting the first Scottish Transition Gathering at The Big Tent Festival, Scotland’s Stewardship Festival, which was held in Falkland, Fife between Saturday 26 & Sunday 27 July 2008. I love it when people produce these kind of short films that allow an insight into what is happening in different parts of the world.
Chris Watson filming for the Transition Movie
The documentary filming training course that was running next week has been cancelled due to insufficient response. We’re taking this as a good thing. It means you don’t need any training! Chris and I have spent this week poking around Transitionland for some exciting stories. We’ve found some real crackers. More on these next time. The place where transition was born, Kinsale, is going to feature in the film. Rob Carr from Cultivate has been doing some filming for a 10 part TV series in Ireland and he’s keen to help us out with our film.
Here in Totnes, one of the projects we are involved in that is really motoring along, and is also generating a lot of interest, is the Garden Share scheme. The idea is simple. There are many older or busier people who have gardens they struggle to look after but which they like to see being used productively, and there are many younger and more able people who would like to grow food, but have no access to land.

Well it has been a long process, starting in Bristol in April, passing through many hands, being critiqued and pulled around, rewritten several times and now finally wrapped up at a meeting in Bristol a few weeks ago.

Now, here in its raw form (it will be properly designed and made available both as printed piece and pdf), we present it to you. You can download it here, or read it below. We hope you find it a useful document and that you take it to your hearts…
