Ed Scott-Clarke will be there to answer questions afterwards. E-Life investigates the social and environmental consequences of our electronic waste. Computers, mobile phones, TVs and home appliances have become an intrinsic part of our daily lives revolutionising the way we interact, communicate and view the world. Keeping up with the latest models and lifestyle products has firmly positioned consumers as the driving force behind a constant cycle of technological advancement. But what exactly happens to our broken computer when we throw it away? Where does that old phone go when we upgrade? From the US to the UK, Accra to Amsterdam, E-LIFE provides the answers. On Thursday 1st of February at 6pm, we will be screening a series of short films on the theme of ocean plastics at the New Vic (Victoria Hall) in Tisbury. Doors and bar open at 5.45 pm. All welcome...it's £1 per ticket for members and non-members. Free for the Under 21s.
With a total duration of about 1 hour, we will be showing a diversity of documentaries and animated films. The focus will be on how the plastic we use makes it into the oceans, the impact of our consumption activities on the health of the aquatic ecosystems around the world, and what all of us can do about it. It’s not all gloom and doom, the films are sad and uplifting in equal measures, giving us clues as to what we can do to help understand and alleviate the plastic problem. The short films are informative, cinematographically innovative and thought-provoking, and some have been filmed in remote beautiful locations such as Bali. We will start with four animated films, ‘The Beauty’ (2019), ‘Are you eating plastic for dinner?’ (2019), ‘Shelfish’ (2019) and ‘Plastic is everywhere’ (2023). We will continue with a series of short documentaries, including ‘If you give a beach a bottle’ (2022) and ‘Voice above water’ (2021), both winners of multiple Film Festival awards. Finally, we will end with three documentaries by Ed Scott-Clarke, film director and producer, who will be available at the end of the screenings for a Q&A. First, a longer documentary ‘Plastic Shores’ (2012) followed by two short documentaries produced for the CNN. A reminder that we'll be showing the award winning RiverBlue documentary on Thursday 23rd November in the Victoria Hall at 6pm. It is free for under 21s and £1 per ticket for everyone else. Please spread the word. It is open to everyone.
River conservationist Mark Angelo infiltrated the fashion industry to reveal the destruction of some of the world's most vital rivers through the dumping of toxic chemical waste, affecting the people and wildlife who rely on these rivers for survival. RiverBlue acts as a demand for change in the textile industry and offers solutions of hope for a sustainable future. We shall be showing "My Octopus Teacher", a feature documentary that tells the story of how Craig Foster, following a daily routine of diving in freezing kelp forests off the tip of South Africa, discovers an unusually curious octopus that becomes a major force in his life. Shot over a full year, this beautiful record of the octopus’s entire life explores the habits and personality of a strange, undulating creature and shows us things never before recorded by science or on film. Beyond intelligent, dextrous, and resilient, the cephalopod shares its secret world, redefining our understanding of the creatures we share our world with. Entry, free for anyone under 21, otherwise £1 for members and guests, payable at the door. Victoria Hall, High Street, Tisbury (opposite Tisbury Motors).  |
