A gangster seeks shelter in the house of a washed-up rock star to evade the law after committing a murder. However, his life changes when he interacts with the people in the house.

Orla Barry is a self-confessed ovine addict.  She is a decade in sheep, she’s still wondering what possessed her to start but yet she wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.  Orla lived in Brussels for 16 years and now lives and works in South East Ireland where she runs a flock of pedigree Lleyn sheep.  Her work deals with the tensions of being an artist and an eco-farmer in rural Ireland.  The Sheep have slowed her art career but at the same, caring for them has hugely inspired it.  She escapes the studio by going to the sheep, escapes the sheep by hiding in her studio.  Notes from Sheepland follows Orla, an outlier, as she floats between these worlds.  It reflects upon the primal, poetic and unpredictable bond she has with the natural world.

An award-winning documentary that uses the cargo bike as the vehicle for exploring parenthood in this digital age of climate change. 

Motherload is a crowdsourced documentary about a new mom's quest to understand and promote the cargo bike movement in a gas-powered, digital and divided world. As Liz explores the burgeoning global movement to replace cars with purpose-built bikes, she learns about the bicycle's history and potential future as the ultimate "social revolutioniser." Her experiences as a cyclist, as a mother, and in discovering the cargo bike world, teach Liz that sustainability is not necessarily about compromise and sacrifice and there are few things more empowering, in an age of consumption, than the ability to create everything from what seems to be nothing. Motherload features unconventional production methods (including crowdsourcing from non-filmmakers), genre-bending storytelling (experimental/personal/doc), and themes of movement-building, activism and courage to "go against the grain."

This screening is organised by Women in Tandem, a women-led, Nottingham-based bike collective committed to breaking down barriers and creating spaces for women to thrive and opportunities to access cycling. Join us for the discussion after the film!
