I love it when art and culture blend with social activism and changemaking.

This brings me to this week's 5th annual Projecting Change Film Festival. Tuesday's opening night kick off started with a special screening of World Peace and Other 4th Grade Achievements about kids trying to solve adult problems.

Producer Chris Farina (left) and teacher/film subject John Hunter did a quick talk and audience Q&A, highlighting not only the filming experience, but also, the world of experimental teaching.

Along with Devon Wong (left) and Sylvia Tan (right), we shuffled into the W2 atrium for the swanky opening night gala. Be sure to check out the docs and festival on now until Sunday.

I'm particularly jazzed about Urbanized and Miss Representation. Also, do yourself a huge favour and watch John Hunter's heralded, most influential TED Talk of 2011 on his World Peace Game (below). Daze, out.
