FAMILY CLIMATE CINEMA

VENUE: THE PLAYTRAIL AMPHITHEATRE

Join us in the woodland surroundings of The Playtrail’s amphitheatre for a rare, free family screening of the much loved 1990’s climate classic animation FernGully: The Last Rainforest.

Crysta is a fairy who lives in FernGully, a rainforest in Australia, and has never seen a human before. In fact, she is told they are extinct. But when a logging company comes near the rainforest, she sees that they do exist, and even accidentally shrinks one of them: a boy named Zak. Now her size, Zak sees the damage that the company does and helps Crysta to stop not only them, but an evil entity named Hexxus, who feeds off pollution.

ARTITUDE CLIMATE FESTIVAL

A free three day community-led celebration of art, climate action and the circular economy.

Showcasing creative, community-led responses to the climate emergency, the festival is delivered in collaboration with The Gathering, Zero Waste North West (ZWNW), Northern Ireland Resources Network (NIRN), Environmental Justice Network Ireland (EJNI) Friends of the Earth NI and Making Relatives - a visit of water and land protectors from Ojibwe Nation, US.

Emerging from The Playhouse's Artitude: Climate, Culture and Circularity project, the festival is part of a unique and transformational programme of activity, using the arts and creative practice to engage communities in the DCSDC area in exploring climate action and the circular economy, with a view to encouraging positive behavioural change.

The Playhouse works with partners Zero Waste North West, Northern Ireland Resources Network, Queens University and Derry City and Strabane District Council to use the arts to co-ordinate and deliver the 18 month programme.
