Age of Stupid
Passionate, urgent and punchy, a rough-and-ready film on the most important problem we now face. Pete Postlethwaite plays the last guy alive looking at archive material that shows how we ignored the environmental warning signs and wonders how we could have been so stupid. Well worth showing again!!

Garbage Warrior
A fascinating and wonderful glimpse of alternative living styles which points an accusing finger at the inactivity of our sleeping global masters. The film focuses on the life and work of Michael Reynolds (who developed the concept of the Earthship) and homes built using waste materials, most famously old car tyres. It is also a study in the power of hard work, supportive communities and the power of applied common sense. NEW

The Garden
About the South Central Farmers, a group of dirt-poor Los Angelenos who took a track of urban ruin and turned it into an Eden – only to see the flora they so lovingly planted and tended bulldozed away. This film is about their dignity, determination and fight to preserve their garden – and what they've done to recover from its loss. NEW
