Film and Food for a Fiver – Derek vs Derek

About Screen Argyll’s Community Climate Cinema
Community Climate Cinema brings people together across Argyll and the Isles through film, conversation and shared stories about the places we live and care about.
Working with community cinemas in Tiree, Mull, Bute, Coll, Eigg, Oban, Barra, Sanday and Dunoon, the project will host a series of inspiring film screenings exploring climate change, community resilience and hopes for the future.
After each screening, audiences will be invited to stay for relaxed, welcoming discussions where people can share ideas, experiences and local perspectives.
Alongside the screenings, filmmaking workshops will invite people of all ages to work together to create short films about environmental change in their communities and the actions already happening locally. Each community will produce its own film, platforming local voices and stories.
The project is about creating space for connection and conversation in island and coastal communities who are already experiencing the effects of climate change first-hand. Using cinema as a starting point, it encourages people to come together, reflect on what matters locally, and imagine positive futures collectively.
In each of the island and coastal communities, the project will deliver 4 screenings, creative workshops and community-made films, helping amplify rural and island voices within Scotland’s wider climate conversation.
