On the weekend of November 14-16, Transition Town Totnes will be holding [the first Transition Film Festival](http://www.transitionfilmfestival.org.uk/?ref=news.transitionnetwork.org). Some 20 screenings will be held, at the town’s Civic Hall and across the square at Bogan House.

The programme includes hands-on Workshops with local film-makers, children’s matinees and discussions with directors.
