On Thursday 22 April, NI Science Festival will host a master documentary filmmaking session with Dutch filmmaker Mirjam Marks, Lilly from Thailand Climate Clip and Julieta from the film, Juliete and the Turtles will  will share their experiences about the projects.  

This webinar will consist of a short documentary 'JovannaForFuture' and 'Juliete & The Turtles in the Plastic Soup' and ClimateClips, an online interactive platform with contributions from over 80 children from over 50 countries worldwide.  Mirjam and two participants of the ClimateClip project will speak in the presentation, share their experiences and thoughts about climate change and show their ClimateClips.
