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.

Power Station
Showing Sunday 7 June
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.
Chasing the Sun
Showing Monday 8 June
This June, Mammoth - A Climate Action Cinema is joining the Great Big Green Week 2026 and celebrating its third birthday with a whole week of screenings!
In 1973 a man in a little known American University set out to discover the most energy efficient creature on earth. The experiment has since entered into legend and is now more relevant to our world than ever before: a human being on a bicycle is the most efficient being on the planet.
The bicycle can enable ordinary people to do extraordinary things, like Chase The Sun- an event where people ride coast to coast, 200 miles or more in a single day, fuelled only by sandwiches, energy bars, cups of tea and good cheer. And it has the potential to do something much more extraordinary. At a time of energy crisis, of climate catastrophe caused by energy misuse, the bicycle can take a front line position in the fight against climate change. One pedal stroke at a time.
This film follows Chase The Sun riders as they cycle coast to coast, sunrise to sunset. As we cross the country, we reveal stories beyond the ride itself. How the bicycle is pushing up green shoots across the land, tackling climate change and bringing other benefits through congestion and pollution reduction, mental and physical wellbeing and community joy.
The film features inspiring stories from charity Life Cycle and women's cycling club Kent Velo Girls alongside contributions from broadcaster Ned Boulting, writer/blogger Jools Walker, World Champ mountain biker Tracy Moseley and artist/national treasure Richard Long.
“We’ve got a once in a lifetime opportunity to revolutionise how people get around and we cannot let it slip through our fingers.” Chris Boardman, Olympian & National Active Travel Commissioner
It'll Never Work
Showing Tuesday 9 June
This June, Mammoth - A Climate Action Cinema is joining the Great Big Green Week 2026 and celebrating its third birthday with a whole week of screenings!
The film follows the real-life struggle of converting the UK’s first fishing boat to solar and electric power to fish at a competitive and commercial level.
It's set on Scotland’s West coast in the scenic and alluring Argyll village of Tayvallich. Over the course of almost a year it runs with the highs, lows and challenges related to the venture as well as the determination and skillset of the builder and skipper.
The young local director Joe Osborn has skilfully engrained the seasonal moods, the strong local community spirit and the Argyll way of doing things into a compelling story of our times. One fisherman’s conviction towards the carbon free future we all need to embrace. A small film, but a powerful one.

Folktales
Showing Thursday 11 June
This June, Mammoth - A Climate Action Cinema is joining the Great Big Green Week 2026 and celebrating its third birthday with a whole week of screenings!
Folktales tells the timely and emotional story of teenagers who choose to spend an unconventional “gap year” learning to dog sled and survive the Arctic wilderness, in hopes of finding connection and meaning in the modern world. Guided by patient teachers and a yard full of Alaskan huskies, they discover their own potential and develop deep relationships with the land, animals and humans around them.
For nearly two centuries, Scandinavian folk high schools - some of which are rooted in the lessons of Norse mythology - have emphasized the power of nature, simplicity, and community to transform young lives.
Today, Pasvik Folk High School in northern Norway aims to produce a similar life-changing effect on its students.
“We hope we can wake up your Stone Age brain,” Pasvik instructor Iselin tells her students.
Burning Skies + virtual Q&A
Showing Friday 12 June
This June, Mammoth - A Climate Action Cinema is joining the Great Big Green Week 2026 and celebrating its third birthday with a whole week of screenings!
Two men are coming for Robert Harper. Their weapon is not violence but the truth about his investments. A dark truth that drives a wedge between him and his beloved daughter.
Burning Skies is a series of short films about the impact of oil extraction on the air we breathe and the water we drink. Including both documentaries and a drama starring Sir David Suchet, these films examine the human impact of our relationship with fossil fuels.
The director Tom Cholmondeley will join us virtually for our discussion after the screening.
End the Siege on Cuba: Special Screening and discussion
Showing Tuesday 16 June
This film screening + discussion is organised by the Nottingham branch of Cuba Solidarity Campaign.
Film + frontline speaker. Learn Cuba's untold history and how you can help break the siege. Don't miss this rare evening.
Join us for a special End the Siege On Cuba event featuring the powerful documentary Cuba After Castro and an in-person discussion with Elizabeth Ribalta Rubiera, Northern European Officer for ICAP (Cuban Friendship Institute)!
Cuba After Castro presents the first and only U.S. interview with Miguel Díaz-Canel, exploring Cuba’s lesser-known history and turbulent present, and offering a revealing portrait of the man tasked with steering the nation’s future after the Castro era.
This documentary follows the first in-depth U.S. interview with Miguel Díaz-Canel, Cuba’s first post-Revolution leader. As he confronts U.S. sanctions, a pandemic, and historic protests, the film chronicles his unexpected rise from unassuming organizer to Castro’s successor, offering a rare view of revolutionary Cuba suppressed in the West.
Following the screening, we welcome Elizabeth Ribalta Rubiera, Northern European Officer for ICAP (Cuban Friendship Institute). Liz brings extensive experience in international solidarity, having worked with U.S. brigades and the Pastors for Peace Caravan. Elizabeth has a wealth of experience of international relations, having worked at ICAP since 2014. Her roles include United States group coordinator in the North America division, where she led international volunteer work brigades and worked with the Pastors for Peace Caravan which brings material aid and delegations from the US each year. She also worked in the ICAP department that looks after foreign students, including working directly with young students studying at the Latin American School of Medicine.

Drowned Land
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.
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.
