Folktales (12A)

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.

Wilding (PG)

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!

Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, Wilding tells the story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate. The young couple battles entrenched tradition, and dares to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe.

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.

Drowned Land + Save Our Seas (15)

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.

The Street Project

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 (15)

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.
