During the Covid pandemic the Eden Project in Cornwall developed an online festival for two years from 2020 to 2021. The aim of the festival was to share positive stories and create a platform of activities and events to entertain and get people communicating and being proactively engaged in a creative activity.  All films had to sit in line with Eden's sustainability objectives.
