9 July - Our Land - Film

OUR LAND dares to tread where few have trespassed before, asking the timely question of who has the right to roam in the English countryside? The UK is a wild and beautiful place, but the vast majority of it is off limits to the general public, with 92% of land and 97% of all rivers in England not legally accessible. At the same time, it is a landscape shaped by centuries of inheritance and tradition, with land held and cared for by families across multiple generations. OUR LAND takes us to the heart of the ‘Right to Roam’ movement as it embarks on a provocative trail of mass trespass, campaigning and education, while also exploring landowners’ concerns around environmental protection and the danger such widespread access could pose to a landscape already under threat. Features: Guy Shrubsole – Author of ‘Who Owns England’ & ‘The Lie of the Land’ Nick Hayes – Author of ‘The Book of Trespass’ Landowners from Cornwall to Scotland Members of the Right to Roam movement [2042.jpg] Director Orban Wallace BBFC Cert 12A Running time 90 minutes https://youtu.be/est-ISGu9D0 Download

July 16 - Film - Where Women Rise

Seventeen women. One mountain. No more silence. In the shadow of Africa’s highest peak, a group of extraordinary women embark on a journey that begins long before they reach the foothills of Kilimanjaro. Cloudline: Where Women Rise is a raw, breathtaking documentary following seventeen trekkers as they battle sub-zero temperatures, thinning air, and the physical limits of their own bodies to conquer the “Roof of Africa.” But for this team, the steepest climb has already happened. More than half of the trekkers live with life-altering childbirth injuries or ostomy bags—conditions often shrouded in shame and medical stigma. From survivors of traumatic births to those reclaiming their identity after stoma surgery, these women are hiking to fundraise for a charity dedicated to supporting and empowering other women both in the UK and Kenya to embrace life after stoma surgery or childbirth injury. “We aren’t just climbing for ourselves; we’re climbing for every woman who has been told her body is a source of shame. We are taking that shame to the summit and leaving it there.” The Journey at a Glance: The Mission: Raising vital funds and awareness for childbirth injuries and ostomy support in Kenya. The Team: 17 women united by shared trauma and a refusal to be defined by their physical “limitations.” The Challenge: 19,341 feet of unforgiving terrain where every step is a testament to resilience. Through intimate interviews and grueling high-altitude footage, the film strips away...

July 17 Levowan Chamber Choir

We welcome back, local favourites, the Levowan Chamber Choir for their summer concert. The programme of music is an eclectic mix of classical, contemporary and popular songs. From Henry Purcell’s ‘Hear My Prayer’ to Eric Whitacre’s ‘Sing Gently’, and Ēriks Ešenvalds’ ‘Stars’ to Sting’s ‘Fields of Gold’, there really is something for everyone. The choir are also proud to be premiering ‘Ave Verum’ by their own baritone and resident composer Hugh Walkington. Among the set will be a choral arrangement of the beautiful and poignant ‘Homeward Bound’ by Marta Keen, the solo version of which (sung by Sir Bryn Terfel) reached Classic FM’s Hall of Fame for the first time this year. Founded in 2015 and brought together to celebrate the collective joy of making music, Levowan Chamber Choir (www.levowan.com) has now become well-established in the South West. The ensemble performs several concerts each year at venues across Devon and Cornwall, captivating audiences with its signature sound. Passionately driven to maintain high standards of performance and musicianship, the choir works on tonal richness and choral blend as well as musical expression and artistic delivery. The singers all have a strong musical background and bring a broad range of experience and versatility.

23 July Blue - Joni Mitchell Sung by Mae Karthauser

“I was utterly blown away… an absolute emotional rollercoaster..magical” Amy “In all my years I have never cried at a gig. I was crying on the first song” Martin Songwriter Mae Karthauser is lending her voice to a breathtaking new live performance: a heart wrenching tribute to Joni Mitchell’s seminal album Blue. Mae will be performing the entire Blue album, plus nine other Joni favourites from her early songwriting era. Mae, who has performed at Glastonbury Festival, on prime-time BBC1 and on BBC Radio 3 and Radio 6, identified Joni Mitchell as the first and most influential songwriter she discovered as a teenager, and was called to delve into recreating the album as a live performance when approached by friend and guitarist Rowland O’Connor at the end of a gig back in 2025. “Who’s album would you most like to recreate?” he asked. Unprompted, they both came up with the same answer. “Joni Mitchell’s songs feel like dreams, like journeys off somewhere deep and familiar” says Mae. “It’s great to go beyond memorising and really into the magic, the poetry and the stunning emotional landscapes Joni is able to conjure with her songwriting” Breathing new life into the 1971 classic, Mae’s silken and athletic vocals soar nimbly over Joni’s melodies, and paired with her expressive piano playing she brings a raw and living presence to these timeless songs.

10 September- Film Jo in the Water + Q&A with Director Pip Piper and Jo Bateman

Jo in the Water follows a passionate sea swimmer turned reluctant activist, Exmouth-based Jo Bateman, as she takes on one of the UK’s biggest water companies in a David-and-Goliath battle to protect our waters from devastating sewage pollution. In the wake of Channel 4’s recent hard-hitting docu-drama which has left many people both angry and frustrated, Jo in the Water picks up the baton from Dirty Business and seeks out joy and inspiration amongst the many amazing individuals fighting to make a difference. As Jo’s courage helps ignite a growing movement, this film exposes the dire state of our water system and asks: who will stand up for our right to swim in clean natural waters, for the species and communities that rely upon them? Jo in the Water is a feature-length documentary made by award-winning filmmakers with a strong track record of bringing powerful stories to our cinema screens. It is not just about water pollution; it is about connection—to nature, to our own sense of place, and to our responsibility for the world around us. Featuring Jo Bateman, Jeremy Vine, Jim Murray MBE and Chris Packham. “Jo inspires people… they realise that together we have a greater strength. In a shoal like this we become mighty.” Chris Packham, Wildlife TV presenter & conservationist “As someone deeply entrenched in the fight to save our waters from pollution I’m delighted to be part of this important documentary.
