Wind, Tide and Oar

Wind, Tide and Oar (PG)

Saturday 17 May 20252:30pm

Wind, Tide & Oar is a compelling exploration of engineless sailing, shot on 16mm film over three years. The film delves into the experiences of those who travel solely by harnessing the natural elements alone, following a diverse array of traditional boats and uncovering the unique rhythms and motivations of engineless navigation.


Journeying through rivers, coastlines, and open seas, spanning the UK, the Netherlands, and France, Wind, Tide & Oar creates a contemplative space, addressing themes of ecology, heritage, traditional skills, and maritime history. Using a 1960s hand-wound camera, Wahl offers a poetic and intimate perspective on a millennia-old craft, upended by the invention of mechanised power.


Through the film’s reveries, sailing becomes a means to explore our interaction with and responsibility to the environment. It invites deep reflection on our relationship with nature, our understanding of and commitment to sustainability, and our care for the world around us.


The film is shot around Suffolk, Cornwall and Essex.



Warfare

Warfare (15)

Saturday 17 May 20255:00pm7:30pm

An incredibly strong anti-war film, Warfare couldn’t come soon enough to the screen given the global issues we face today.

Written and directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland (Civil War, 28 Days Later), Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory. It’s a visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it. Memory can be distorted and confused, timelines can be changed and key points forgotten, especially when dealing with war trauma and PTSD. 20 years later the lessons pieced together from these brave young people should be a warning for our turbulent times and a call to act now to avoid any further warfare.
