The World According To My Dad (2023): Environmental Film Festival 2025

Environmental Film Festival is back, running 16-23 October and celebrating our 15th year by returning to the cinema where we first started, Palace Kino!

Saturday, the 18th of October, culminates at Palace Kino with the deeply personal and heartwarming film ‘The World According To My Dad’ (2023).

What happens when a scientist and an artist team up to save the planet?

Artist and filmmaker Marta Kovářová presents a funny, intimate documentary about her father, a physicist who dreams of fixing climate change with one big bold idea. Follow their journey as they try to make their voices heard in a world that doesn’t always want to listen, crashing conferences, playing protest songs, and sharing late-night chats.

The World According to My Dad shows that saving the planet isn’t just about science, it’s about family, imagination, and working together.

Australian premiere screening, supported by Climate Choir Melbourne.

Environmental Films Australia is a volunteer-run community group based in Naarm (Melbourne) that promotes action through cinema, community and connection. We prioritise climate and environments through film, provide platforms for artists to showcase their work, and create space for people to connect and exchange solutions.
