The delicate structures of our soils have been damaged by the extractive practices of industrial farming in ways that affect our food, our health and that of the planet. Humans have the ability to heal our soils by practising regenerative techniques that produce nutrient-dense food, sequester carbon in the ground and nurture essential biodiversity. We have the power to be part of this story by choosing to support those who care for the soil whether producing food or fibre. Healthy soil, healthy people, healthy planet.
Soil Is Life: Weaving the Threads Between Soil, Farming, Food and Fibre

Co-directors Lilith Piper and Joya Berrow capture the movements and migration patterns of birds, translating their seasonal journey through dance. Part myth, part performance, Piper and Berrow shape a quiet, sensorial meditation on our relationship with nature, and the profound connection between humans and the creatures we share our home with.
Bird
The gnarled limbs of an ancient temperate rainforest are reflected in the network of mycelium below ground. Here two worlds meet, enabling the magic which drives so much of life on earth. They mirror each other visually, . while providing symbiotic support. This cycle, powered by photosynthesis, connects sunlight and water from above with a thriving metropolis of microlife below, drawing carbon from the atmosphere into the soil where it is stored.
Where Two Kingdoms Meet

The intimate story of a nine-year-old girl living in one of the oldest off-grid communities in the UK. We follow the fledging climate activist as she navigates her way back into traditional schooling and proudly speaks up for her passionate belief in the environment.
Eve

A young woman, Yassandra Barrios, emerges as a leader on her island (just off the coast of Colombia) to save the reef that's vital to its survival. She learns to dive, studies Marine Biology, and rallies the fishermen and other islanders to protect Tierra Bomba from international shipping and trawlers. She inspires those around her with a vision of a sustainable future for their island home.
