Seedlings Film Fest

Seedlings presents a ‘handmade’ film festival focused on all things analogue and sustainable. In London in December we will share a day of evocative films with a shared resonance of nature, sustainability, traditional heritages in their form and subject matter. 

In particular we are looking for films that engage with nature, renewal, spirituality or queerness. This could be in form: analogue films, handmade animations, VHS, photo-films; or in subject matter: characters who wrestle with their place in the world, stories from communities who live in harmony with nature (or wish to) or docs on sustainable practices. Feel free to take this prompt as gloriously widely as you wish.

Seedlings is a collective which produces a handmade seasonal magazine of art and writing, and this will be our first film festival.
