Paddy Pallin Sydney Fundraiser : The Giants Film - Has Ended

* *If this event has sold out and you would like to be placed on a waiting list, please email mkozok@paddypallin.com.au**

Paddy Pallin Foundation supports the Bob Brown Foundation in their effort to bring much-needed attention to this beautiful and unique part of Australia. In particular, Paddy's has partnered with BBF for the annual takayna Trail ultra-marathon event (established 2019), an epic 62km traverse of this ancient Gondwana forest.

Chris Mein, Paddy Pallin General Manager, will be taking on this challenge and running the full 62km to create awareness for takayna and bring an end to native forest logging. We'll be hosting a film night in Paddy Pallin Sydney to help Chris with his fundraising efforts for this challenge, with all proceeds going to the Bob Brown Foundation to continue their fight to protect takayna.

We'll be playing the award winning film The Giants!

The Giants explores the intertwined fates of tress and humans in this cinematic portrait of environmental folk hero and gay icon Bob Brown who took green politics to the centre of power. From a seedling to forest elder THE GIANTS interweaves Bob's story with the life cycle of the ancient trees he is fighting for.

The hidden life of the forest is brought to screen by cameras rigged high in the tree canopy; immersive point cloud animation generated from 3D tree scans; and thought-provoking insights into the likes of David Suzuki, Merlin Sheldrake and David Lindenmayer. Drawing on Bob's lifetime of activism, from the Franklin to the Tarkine, THE GIANTS ignites an urgent conversation about the right of the Forest to exist and challenges the audience to write the next chapter.

From the makers of FREEMAN (ABC, 2020).
