Screening of the documentary Derek vs Derek, directed by James Dawson, with a pre-film feast as part of the 99p Films night.
Derek vs Derek, the documentary by James Dawson, is screening at Watershed from Tuesday 13 October. It's a story about two neighbouring farmers in the Cotswolds, Derek Banbury and Derek Gow, whose fields border each other and who take radically different approaches to how they use their land. The film opens up a debate over the future of rural Britain, asking how farming and nature restoration might work together.
It's described as equal parts hilarious and moving, and it's drawn praise from critics and writers like Isabella Tree, who called it 'hilarious while at the same time being empathetic and incredibly powerful'. The film was produced with Adam Wishart as executive producer.
In Bristol, the screenings form part of the 99p Films night, which pairs the film with a pre-film feast cooked using British-grown ingredients, championing the farmers at the heart of the story. So it's not just a screening; there's a meal to go with it.
