Screening of the Super 8 film 'Super Nature' followed by a Q&A with Hastings artist Beccy McCray.
The Electric Palace Cinema is screening Super Nature on Thursday 12 November, from 19:30 to 21:00, followed by a Q&A with Hastings artist Beccy McCray. The film is a 2025 release, 82 minutes long and rated PG, directed by Ed Sayers. It's a love letter to nature shot entirely on old-school Super 8, and the premise is as simple as it sounds: Sayers gave collaborators around the world the same brief, to film nature on Super 8 cameras. The result is a visceral, poetic meditation on the wild world, with imagery that runs from coral reefs and high deserts to close-ups of the tiniest bugs and wide shots of whales. Mark Kermode called it "uplifting... life-affirming... organic" and said it feels as though it has a physical soul.
The screening is part of Green Screen, co-curated by Dr Rebecca Sinker, an arts producer and citizen scientist with the Clean Water Action Group. The Q&A brings the conversation home: Beccy McCray is a Hastings creative director who's been involved with the film since 2019, leading its impact strategy and community engagement around its BFI release and UK preview tour. She'll be there to talk about the project after the credits roll.
