Winging it has never been this fun - Ruby Smith, Film & TV and History student at NTU, has been busy as a bee during her work experience at Mammoth, hand-pecking this buzzworthy selection of short films just for you. So flock in, get comfy and prepare for an evening that is nothing short of egg-ceptional.
And for those who know their local history, the title 'The Birds and The Bees' is a knowing wink to what used to grace this very screen in the 70s.

Dir. Kim Lowe
Bill Perkins is a beekeeper in Boston who shares his knowledge and love of bees with his community, much like a bee spreading pollen. And sometimes that means riding through a busy city with 10,000 bees on the back of your bike so you can share them with second graders who are learning about pollination.
