The Bough Breaks + Q&A

Showing Today

The Bough Breaks has at its heart the work of visionary conservationist and ecologist, Alan Watson Featherstone and his charity Trees For Life to restore Scotland’s ancient Caledonian forest, but it also explores the wider Rewilding movement; how its model of large-scale forest restoration, can mitigate some of the global conservation and climate crises, currently threatening life on Earth. Alan's personal journey also illustrates the urgency for more individual responsibility in the stewardship of our planet and the enormous legacy one man can gift to the future, by staying true to his personal vision.

After the screening we will be joined by the co-director Daniel Strong and assistant producer Dr. Gabriel Strong to dig deeper into the themes of the documentary.

Lost for Words

Showing Friday 16 January

This poetic journey through language and landscape explores how reconnecting with nature’s vanishing vocabulary can help us reimagine our future with hope.

Hannah Papacek Harper’s wonderful engagement with the English language is a lyrical and visually rapturous journey around the UK. Inspired by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris’s beloved book The Lost Words, it is a response to the disappearance of nature-related words – like acorn, otter and bluebell – from the Oxford Junior Dictionary. Weaving through changing seasons, remote landscapes, museum archives and science labs, the film uses the voices of children, elders, artists and scientists to offer up a shared yearning to reconnect with the natural world amid the climate crisis. With nature as its central character, it explores how language shapes our relationship with the environment and how losing words may mean losing a sense of wonder. A hopeful and heartfelt rally cry to reawaken our senses, it encourages us to forge deeper, more compassionate bonds with the world we live in.

Fashion Fictions - Book Launch

Taking Place Friday 23 January

Come along to Mammoth to celebrate the launch of Fashion Fictions: Imagining Sustainable Worlds, a new open access book authored by Professor Amy Twigger Holroyd from Nottingham School of Art & Design.
Arising from the international participatory project of the same name, Fashion Fictions presents a kaleidoscope of crowdsourced responses to an open-ended prompt that asks participants to dream up and enact alternative fashion systems and examines common themes that can be identified in these responses, from nature and spirituality to language, togetherness and adaptation. 

This special evening will feature Amy talking about the book with Michelle Leonforte from Nottingham City of Literature; the screening of two short films that provide a window into two very different Fashion Fictions enactments; and the opportunity to get involved by remixing existing fictions to create your very own utopian fashion system.

“Are we worth saving?” explores questions about our responsibility and value system as humans who are part of a planetary entanglement.

The performance Are we worth saving? is the culminating event of Theatre of Climate Action, a youth-led creative project supported by the Feminist Centre for Racial Justice (SOAS, University of London) and the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC). As part of the project, seven students were involved with creating performance around issues of climate (in)justice. The project seeks to amplify global majority youth voices in conversations about the climate and climate activism through the performing arts.

The cast and directors of the play will be present to lead a conversation after the screening.

Gentle, Angry Women + Q&A

Showing Saturday 31 January

A new generation of young female activists uncovers a powerful, often overlooked chapter of women's history and the alarming reality of British nuclear armament. As they navigate the complexities of teenage life and social activism, three young women - Poppy, Xanthe, and Evie - embark on a journey of discovery, following in the footsteps of over 30,000 women who forty years earlier united in peaceful, liberating protest, the remarkable Greenham Common Women's Peace Movement.

This coming-of-age documentary, driven by intergenerational dialogue, bridges past courage and present hope, speaking to the need for action and change.

After the screening, we will be joined virtually by the Director Barbara Santi for our discussion.
