🔥 FIRES AND FASCISM is a new documentary that shows wildfires in Europe are more than just climate change and mismanagement. It links the growing wildfires of Europe with past fascism, big business, organised crime, and the far right. It showcases how communities are engaging in direct action, protest, rewilding, and suppressing the uncontrollable fires and the far right.

The film features the experiences and actions of 25 people across Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, ranging between scientists, teachers, artists, gardeners, engineers, winemakers, NGOs, and authors.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Pete Knapp, director of Fires and Fascism, who shifted careers from air quality research to filmmaking to tell the story of people recovering from wildfires.

Our Brie(f) Encounter + cheese tasting fundraiser

Our Brie(f) Encounter + cheese tasting fundraiser was brilliant! Big thanks to everyone who came and supported, a fantastic £850 was raised towards the cost of our new projector.

🧀 We tasted a delicious festive cheeseboard of Stilton, Brie and Lancashire (a nod to the location of Brief Encounter). Thank you Matthew Onuki Luke from the @cheese_academy for providing the cheese!

☺️ Thank you @jeminalaing for being in attendance, and for running with the cheesy film names on your Facebook post. We may be borrowing some of these ideas!
