Utama (2022) — Dir. Alejandro Loayza Grisi
18:00 – 19:30 | Runtime: 1h 27m | Certificate: 12A
Watch the trailer

Synopsis: An elderly Quechua couple in Bolivia confronts a devastating drought that threatens their traditional way of life. The film reckons with the grief that individual families contend with in the face of climate change, as well as intergenerational reactions to climate change. How do the younger and older generations respond to climate change and the need to move?

Thank You For The Rain (2017) — Dir. Julia Dahr
20:00 – 21:30 | Runtime: 1h 27m | Certificate: 12A
Watch the trailer

Synopsis: This powerful documentary follows Kisilu Musya, a Kenyan farmer who begins filming his daily life to show the real impacts of climate change on his community. Over five years, his story evolves from local struggle to global activism as he journeys to the UN climate talks in Paris. The film captures the personal toll of changing weather patterns while exposing the deep inequalities that shape who is heard (and who is not) in global climate debates.

Join us for one - or both! - of these films.  All free but booking is essential!

Please be aware that we are screening these in our main hall.  As we are not a cinema, please be aware that these films will be shown on a projector, and that you may want to bring a cushion with you as our seating is more suited for gigs and events then for more prolonged seating. If you have any questions, please email admin@bristolfolkhouse.co.uk
