• The inspiration for the Sustainable Living Film Festival came from the short film
“Story of Stuff” (www.storyofstuff.com)
which had a rippling impact as soon as it was published on THE internet. It deeply moved and excited us when we watched it and our first instinct was to make this film available to as many people as we can! When we heard that the maker of the film, Annie Leonard, who is an expert on sustainability and environmental issues, was coming to Istanbul in May 2008 in order to attend a conference, we stepped up and managed to organize a Story of Stuff screening within a weeks time. The screening took place with Annie’s presence on May 31 2008, at the Italian Culture Center. Following the screening Annie gave a long and sincere talk and answered questions from the audience.
