About us 

SEE+Δ (SEE Positive Change) is a film library and impact distribution initiative from Plastic Oceans International. We use storytelling to deepen systems understanding and accelerate adoption of circular solutions.

By combining film curation, screenings, and structured dialogue, SEE+Δ supports educational institutions and circular companies make complex sustainability challenges easier to understand, and circular solutions easier to support.

Our Impact Model

We use film as a catalyst for systems learning, dialogue, and insights. Each bundle is designed to help audiences connect the dots between complex sustainability challenges and the circular solutions needed to address them.

  • Intentional Film Curation

    Intentional Film Curation

    We curate short films, documentary excerpts, and thematic selections aligned with specific sustainability challenges. Making it easier to introduce complex topics through compelling, accessible stories.

    Screenings and Structured Dialogue

    Films are paired with contextual framing and discussion prompts to help drive systems-oriented dialogue. This helps audiences move beyond awareness toward a deeper understanding of systems.

  • Actionable Insights

    Actionable Insights

    Through recorded discussions and AI-assisted analysis, we identify stakeholder misalignment, uncover barriers to action, and generate recommendations to strengthen how circular solutions are communicated.

Why it works

Complex systems are difficult to understand through theory alone. Film makes abstract sustainability challenges observable and easier to relate to. When paired with structured dialogue, it creates a shared reference point, allowing audiences to compare perspectives, surface assumptions, and begin to understand how different actors experience the same system.

Our model is built on more than a decade of experience at Plastic Oceans International using film to create shared experiences and meaningful conversations. SEE+Δ extends that approach into a model designed for circular learning and systems change.

Our Film Bundles

Curated film bundles designed to help companies and educators make circular challenges easier to understand, discuss, and support.

Packaging Lifecycle

This film bundle follows packaging from design to final destination, revealing how each stage sets the next one up for success, or failure. Through real-world stories and systems-level insight, the films spotlight where things go wrong, who pays the price, and where targeted intervention can stop the chain reaction and change outcomes for communities and ecosystems.

The second is a black-and-white photo of a person with a surfboard walking on a beach, titled "The Change of Tide." The third features a person climbing mangroves in a forest, titled "Return of the Mangroves." The fourth depicts three people on a boat on the sea, with awards logos and text indicating a film titled "From the Mountain to the Sea."

Coastal Communities

This film bundle explores the systems shaping coastal communities, where livelihoods, ecosystem health, and policy decisions are closely linked. The films examine how economic activities such as tourism and fishing interact with environmental change and governance, revealing where pressures accumulate, where vulnerabilities emerge, and how impacts are experienced across communities.
