Drowned Land + Save Our Seas
Showing Saturday 20 June
Flowing through southeast Oklahoma, the Kiamichi River is a cradle of biodiversity and cultural memory. Already twice dammed, it now faces another threat: a proposed hydropower project that could drain its watershed. For local residents and Indigenous culture-keepers of the Choctaw Nation, protecting the river is part of resisting a long history of land loss and forced displacement dating back to the Trail of Tears.
Told with the river as its central character, the story traces its seasonal vitality, the injury from dams, and efforts to reclaim ecological balance. Woven throughout is the filmmaker's own family story - she reflects on her grandfather's work on the Army Corps of Engineers dams and her tribe's ongoing struggle against resource exploitation, seeking reconciliation between past and present.
Save Our Seas is a locally cast short film highlighting the impacts of pollution on the environment and local communities in the South West of England.

A new film featuring Chris Packham, leading scientists, a former general and Jennifer Saunders - all being far too frank about where things are heading and what can be done about it.
The Street Project
Showing Saturday 27 June
In 2010, the small community of specialists who pay attention to US road safety statistics picked up on a troubling trend: more and more pedestrians and cyclists were being killed on American roads. In fact, pedestrian deaths have increased 51 percent since reaching their low point in 2009. In addition to the loss of human life, it is estimated that road injuries will cost the world economy $1.8 trillion from 2015–2030.
The Street Project is the story about humanity’s relationship to the streets and the global citizen-led fight to make communities safer.
