Whiddy
A film by Adrian McCarthy and Brenda Morrissey
Whiddy tells the story of how a small rural town in beautiful West Cork in Ireland welcomed in a major global oil company with open arms only for it to end in a tragedy that silenced and divided the local community and still haunts it to this day.
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Adrian McCarthy, co-director/editor Brenda Morrissey, and producer Maria Horgan.
When: November 12, 6:30 PM
Where: Village East by Angelika
181-189 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003
Understory
A film by Su Rynard
Three visionaries — forester Suzanne Simard, botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer, and philosopher Paco Calvo — have spent their careers listening and learning from plants. Each paid the price for being an outsider. Together, their work converges on a single, quietly radical idea: that the natural world is not a warehouse of resources for human consumption, but a community of intelligent, feeling, interconnected beings. Could this shift in perception be the key to leading us out of the ecological crisis we face?
Exquisite in image, and patient in its rhythm, Understory offers a new way of seeing — one that has the power to change the world and our place in it.
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Su Rynard and producer Nadine Pequeneza.
When: November 13, 7:15 PM
Where: Village East by Angelika
181-189 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003
Derek vs Derek
A film by James Dawson
In Devon, England, two implacably opposed tarmers are neighbours, both called Derek. One believes in intensive tarming, the other is giving his entire tarm over to nature. As tempers fray, wild animals escape, and the land is transformed, the film charts the two Derek’s often funny turbulent relationship.
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director James Dawson.
When: November 14, 1:35 PM
Where: Village East by Angelika
