Directed by Fiona Cunningham-Reid | UK | 2025 | 1h 17m

Award-winning documentary filmmaker Fiona Cunningham-Reid presents an intimate portrait of the pair whose collaborative practice sits at the intersection of art, activism, biology and ecology.

We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
