Short Film Screening + Workshop: Bringing People Back to the Farm

Taking Place Today

Join us for an afternoon of film and creative collaboration at Mammoth - A Climate Action Cinema. 

We’ll start by watching a short film — Into the Soil — a 30min documentary film that follows Brigid LeFevre who runs the community supported agriculture operation ”Förädlad” in Järna, Sweden. 

After the screening, you’ll take part in a hands-on 2.5-hour workshop where we’ll explore how to reconnect people with farms in Nottinghamshire. Whether you’ve volunteered on a farm before or are just curious about climate, community, and land — this is for you. 


Workshop: "Bringing People Back to the Farm" 
This participatory research workshop is part of a local project exploring how to make community and regenerative farms more accessible, welcoming, and fulfilling for volunteers.

Together, we will:
- Reflect on what makes volunteering meaningful
- Explore the emotional and practical barriers to getting involved
- Co-create ideas for new kinds of volunteer experiences
- Use storytelling, collage, and prompts to imagine what a dream community-farm programme could look like

Who can join?
Participants must be 18+ and live in Leicestershire or Nottinghamshire, with an interest in farming, food growing, nature, or volunteering. No experience needed — just curiosity and willingness to share.

Limited to 16 participants
All participants will receive a £25 thank-you for their time (tickets cost £5, so you receive £20 net).


This event is part of a research study in collaboration with Grange Farm, Loughborough University, and Nottingham Trent University.

Finding the Money

Showing Friday 15 August

Finding the Money follows economist Stephanie Kelton on a journey through Modern Money Theory or “MMT”. Kelton provocatively asserts the National Debt Clock that ticks ominously upwards in New York City is not actually a debt for us taxpayers at all, nor a burden for our grandchildren to pay back. Instead, Kelton describes the national debt as simply a historical record of the number of dollars created by the US federal government currently being held in pockets, as assets, by the rest of us. 
MMT bursts into the media with journalists asking, “Have we been thinking about how the government spends money, all wrong?” But top economists from across the political spectrum condemn the theory as “voodoo economics”, “crazy” and “a crackpot theory”.
The film traces the conflict all the way back to the story we tell about money, injecting new hope and empowering countries around the world to tackle the biggest challenges of the 21st century: from climate change to inequality.

Two artists in Walthamstow set out to take their street off the grid, kickstarting a solar-powered energy revolution.

Inspired by lockdown mutual aid initiatives, artist-activists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn decided to turn their street into an energy-generating powerhouse – a prototype for a new way of living, with the hope of galvanising a wider push towards sustainable alternatives. Directed by the duo, POWER STATION charts their turbulent journey, from pitching the idea to their neighbours and sleeping on the roof of their home to raising finance and launching a bid for a Christmas number one single. By turns funny and heartwarming, Powell and Edelstyn’s film is a vibrant portrait of their local neighbourhood, and a charming testament to the power of art in changing minds about what could be possible.

The latest film from master documentarian Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda, Aquarela) is an epic, intimate, and poetic meditation on architecture. 

Monumental in scale and vision and largely without narration, it’s an absorbing journey that takes us from tomb-like Ukrainian cities through mind-boggling modern quarrying and construction methods to an ancient stone monolith in Lebanon. With architect Michele De Lucchi as our occasional guide, it manages to ask searching questions about our short-sighted use of natural resources: how do we build, and how can we build better – before it’s too late?
