Over the course of a year, these families endure impossible challenges and show unparalleled strength as they fight to save their children's lives.

Wild Coast Warriors is the remarkable true story about how the little guy stood up to the big corporation.

In a David and Goliath court case against Shell, these communities succeeded in halting oil and gas exploration, winning ongoing protection for their ocean and culture.

Queerness is an evocative word as much as it avoids all boundaries and classifications: this evening of queer shorts with and by queer people are set out to blur all lines. From the turns of events of an unexpected first hook-up to the horrors of a heteronormative cult. From the never-ending fight with one's IBS to the odyssey of a non binary person walking home at night.

The Wild Defending Itself

Showing Friday 14 November

The Wild Defending Itself is a feature-length documentary (90 min) by Vincent Verzat, produced by Partager c'est Sympa. The film traces his path between militancy and naturalism, his search for a balance between combat and contemplation. Based on a personal and sensitive story, the film makes the link between wild animals and the struggles being waged throughout France against the destruction of their habitats. The Wild Defending Itself sets out a path for living with dignity and preparing for what lies ahead.

Mammoth Mending Workshop

Mammoth Mending Workshop

Taking Place Sunday 23 November

In this workshop Mammoth becomes a pop-up clothing repair salon, a welcoming place to bring your missing buttons, holey socks, rips and tears. 

Everyone is welcome, whatever their level of experience. We can help you to think about what type of repair is needed for your items and, if needed, teach you the basics of hand stitching or the more specialist technique of darning. We’ll also have a sewing machine on hand.
 A range of materials and equipment will be supplied, but feel free to bring your own if preferred - as well as your items for repair. 

Mammoth Mending Workshops are supported by  the Sustainable Transitions Research Group at Nottingham School of Art & Design.
