EVENTS

Because we don’t want to be stuck behind our computers, but actually go out and do something, we’ve decided it’s time for a new kind of environmentalism. Strawberry Earth helps the environment by organising the way we spend our money. Consumer power with a twist… Click on this video to see how our first event worked and click here to watch the video of one of our biggest events to date, the first Dutch Environmental Film Festival!

Strawberry Earth Nights

In the lead up to next year’s Dutch Environmental Film Festival, our friends from Rialto cinema invited us to hold a few film nights with a Strawberry Earth touch: Strawberry Earth Nights! These nights combine an inspirational green film, a special strawberry guest, the work of designers and artists we like and our favourite DJs and VJs.

The first Strawberry Earth Night was on 25 September 2009. The theme was simply delicious… the cinema was sold out and we all danced till the early hours of the morning - here are some pictures taken by Strawberry photographer Dennis de Groot. A cracking party in other words…. Click here to read what exactly happened. And look out for the second edition of Strawberry Earth Nights!

Greenchoice and Strawberry Earth present the first Dutch Environmental Film Festival!

On 5 and 6 June 2009, Strawberry Earth is organised the very first Dutch Environmental Film Festival! Click here to see some pictures.

We asked our favourite cinemas in Amsterdam how much of their revenue from two nights they would invest in eco-friendly upgrades to their own cinema. The cinema with the highest bid, won our film festival. It was a close call but the winner was Het Ketelhuis cinema.

Three cinema venues were willing to invest 100% of their revenue. But, Het Ketelhuis went crazy, besides bidding 100%, they also agreed to give away the savings they make on energy bills for the next 10 years to an environmental charity! We were blown away.

5 and 6 June were packed with international films to remember, inspiring speakers and, of course, an awesome party.

Look at for the Dutch Environmental Film Festival 2010!

Exclusive screening of the FUEL film

On 30 November 2008, we organised an exclusive screening of the FUEL film in The Ketelhuis cinema in Amsterdam. The director of the film, Josh Tickell, also gave a live Q&A.

FUEL is a very important film about our addiction to oil and suitable energy alternatives. It’s an optimistic film that offers solutions on how to tackle global warming. FUEL won ‘Best Documentary Audience Award 2008’ at the Sundance Film Festival in America and was shortlisted for an Oscar.

The evening in Het Ketelhuis was a success! It turned out to be a very inspiring and thought provoking night. Have a look at our video of the event and watch a trailer of the film here.
