Screening of 'Super Nature', a Super 8 film by Ed Sayers about nature, part of the Green Screen series at Electric Palace Hastings.
Super Nature comes to Electric Palace on Thursday 5 November, a collaborative film project put together by Ed Sayers. It's a love letter to nature shot on old-school Super 8 film by collaborators from all over the world, and the whole thing is subtitled.
The way it came together is pretty straightforward: Sayers set a deceptively simple brief — film nature where you are, on Super 8 — and the result is a visceral, deeply personal meditation on the wild world. The footage runs the full spectrum, from coral reefs and high deserts to the tiniest insects and whales, all captured on that grainy, tactile film stock that gives it a physical presence. Film critic Mark Kermode called it 'uplifting... life-affirming... organic', a work with a physical soul that demands the big screen.

The screening is part of Green Screen, a series co-curated by Dr Rebecca Sinker, an Arts Producer and Citizen Scientist with the Clean Water Action Group. It's a PG film, so it works as a family outing as much as a solo trip. The session starts at 11:00 at Electric Palace, 39A High St, Hastings, TN34 3ER.
