7:45PM  Screening The Happy Man Tree (75mins) 
"When a group of neighbours in Woodberry Down, Hackney, find out that the Council have given a property developer permission to chop down a much-loved 150-year-old local street tree - which even has its own name, the Happy Man Tree - they rally to save it. 
Katy McGahan’s film charts the ups and downs of a heated nine month battle from the point of view of the brave activists."

9PM Reflective space / discussion with members of Notice This Tree after the film

Notice This Tree is brought by members of the community who campaigned to save a London Plane Tree known as The Happy Man Tree in 2020. Notice This Tree imagines a world that is truly connected to the impact of loss and the spectre of extinction. With this in mind the community is creating a series of Interventions across the UK in response to the continuing loss – with a special focus on the loss of trees. In these Interventions they invite people to notice trees - a tree at risk, one that has already been felled, or a tree that they love and walk from that tree to the cinema where they can connect with others before the screening of The Happy Man Tree documentary (Katy McGahan, 75 mins, 12a). After the screening there will be space to reflect on our experience and to consider the questions ‘What now?’ and ‘How shall we live going forward?
