Drowned Land + Save Our Seas

Drowned Land + Save Our Seas

Showing Saturday 20 June

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. 

The film's ensemble are voices of advocates - residents, scientists, and cultural leaders - calling for rematriation and the rights of nature, working to break the cycle of disconnection and ensure the Kiamichi's life-giving waters endure.

The screening will be introduced by Save Our Seas by Willem Newton-Beer.

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.

Mammoth Mending Workshop

Taking Place Sunday 21 June

In this workshop Mammoth becomes a pop-up clothing repair salon, a welcoming place to bring your missing buttons, holey socks, rips and tears. 

Everyone is welcome, whatever their level of experience. We can help you to think about what type of repair is needed for your items and, if needed, teach you the basics of hand stitching or the more specialist technique of darning. We’ll also have a sewing machine on hand.
 A range of materials and equipment will be supplied, but feel free to bring your own if preferred - as well as your items for repair. 

Mammoth Mending Workshops are supported by  the Sustainable Transitions Research Group at Nottingham School of Art & Design.

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.

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.

Due Regard - A documentary and discussion on Prevent

Showing Tuesday 30 June

In 2015, the UK introduced the Prevent duty under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, which obliges social workers, educators, health professionals and police to show "due regard" for people who may exhibit signs of "radicalisation". This 40-minute documentary, made by researchers at the University of Warwick, explores how the Prevent programme has affected the lives of people reported under it. 
This screening of "Due Regard" is on behalf of the Nottingham chapter of Amnesty International.
Amnesty UK argues that the Prevent programme results in discrimination (especially against Muslims and neurodiverse people), violates freedom of expression and thought, lacks transparency and is disproportionate. To have your say on the Prevent programme, take part in the plenary discussion afterwards.
