Peckham Free Film Festival

I’ve been busy setting this up and now you’re all invited to our free film night in September - be part of the First Peckham Free Film Festival! More info on our group and other screenings here www.freefilmfestivals,org
As part of the Peckham Free Film Festival, The Centre for Wildlife Gardening hosts a free outdoor screening of Koyaanisqatsi (Life Out of Balance) on Thursday 9 September, 8.30pm (doors 7.30pm).
Delicious free South Indian vegetarian street snacks and masala teas/juices will provided at this event courtesy of Ganapati South Indian Kitchen - set up in our own mini-meadow to give the event a true festival feel!
Koyaanisqatsi (1983, PG, 86 mins) will be shown outdoors on a large screen in the grounds. Chairs provided. Everyone welcome. Tickets available free on the door. This event is outdoor and will go ahead rain or shine!
Before the main film we'll also be screening animated short films made by families during our free animation workshops in August.
Koyaanisqatsi (the film's title is a Hopi word) is a remarkable film without a story, dialogue, or characters which movingly portrays the impact humans are having on the environment.
It juxtaposes nature imagery, manipulated in slow motion, double exposure or time lapse, with footage of humans' devastating environmental impact on the planet.
Starting with an ancient rock wall painting, the film moves through sequences depicting clouds, waves, and other natural features, then into man-made landscapes such as buildings, earth-altering construction machinery, and cars.
The message of director Godfrey Reggio is clear: humans are destroying the planet. Minimalist composer Philip Glass provides an atmospheric score.
