The Birds and The Bees - Short Films Programme
Showing Friday 15 May
And for those who know their local history, the title 'The Birds and The Bees' is a knowing wink to what used to grace this very screen in the 70s.
Hundreds of bird species migrate through Chicago every year, and glass presents a major issue for these beautiful creatures. Broken Flight highlights the work of dedicated avian advocates who try to rescue the birds that collide with Chicago’s skyscrapers. The tireless work of these bird lovers underscores our connection to the natural world.
What does it mean to be a birdwatcher? Why is access to nature important? What makes someone get up at 3 a.m. to count birds in the pouring rain?
Follow a passionate group of local Nottingham beekeepers as they share their personal journeys, along with the unexpected joys and challenges of the craft. Learn about the Dark European Honey Bee and discover how these tiny creatures are transforming far more than just honeycombs.
Bill Perkins is a beekeeper in Boston who shares his knowledge and love of bees with his community, much like a bee spreading pollen. And sometimes that means riding through a busy city with 10,000 bees on the back of your bike so you can share them with second graders who are learning about pollination.
Earth's Greatest Enemy
Showing from Friday 22 May
In Abby Martin's second feature documentary, Earth’s Greatest Enemy reveals a hidden truth behind the climate crisis: the role of the U.S. military as the world’s largest institutional polluter. Drawing on powerful testimonies from veterans, scientists, and frontline communities, it uncovers how military operations poison ecosystems, accelerate global warming, and sacrifice the future for endless expansion. From Alaska’s melting glaciers to contaminated bases across the U.S. and toxic battlefields abroad, Earth’s Greatest Enemy delivers a provocative and unflinching examination of the untouchable institution playing an outsized role in the climate crisis.
Songs from the Second Floor
Showing Thursday 28 May
This is a screening by Jackie Treehorn Productions, an independent film club showcasing a large variety of films throughout Nottingham.
An absurdist film like no other. Made up of 46 deadpan, and precisely composed vignettes depicting the lives of residents of a merciless city in breakdown.
Everybody to Kenmure Street
Showing Sunday 31 May
People's Emergency Briefing
Showing Saturday 6 June
We are supporting this film's national release, and this event is at Bonington Theatre in Arnold, NG5 7EE.
Last November, ten of the UK’s leading experts briefed an invited audience of over 1,200 politicians and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media. The briefing set out the implications of climate and nature breakdown for health, food systems, national security and the economy. The People's Emergency Briefing presents the national implications of climate and nature breakdown - along with credible, positive responses - in a single, accessible account. 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.
