SUMMARY:Kes (dir Ken Loach\, 1969)
DESCRIPTION:Bullied at school and ignored and abused at home by his indifferent mother and older brother\, Billy is a 15-year-old working-class Yorkshire boy who discovers his own private means of fulfilment when he adopts a fledgling kestrel and proceeds to train it in the art of falconry. Loach’s compassionate treatment means the film is both a biting indictment of the British class system of the time but also a celebration of the power of relationships between humans and animals – and his kestrel has everything that Billy needs: freedom\, pride\, respect and independence. \nScreens with Ma Poule | My Girl (dir Caroline Ophélie\, France\, 2023: 18 min). Ever since the rooster died\, Jasper’s only surviving hen has been plagued by depression; forced to come down from the mountain where he lives far from the modern world\, the old man sets out in search of companionship for his beloved feathered friend. \nThis programme is part of the Al Sidr Environmental Film Festival\, a collaboration between NYUAD and Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi

SUMMARY:The Night Visitors (dir Michael Gitlin\, 2023)
DESCRIPTION:A movie about moths; film and video artist Michael Gitlin emphasises their surreal beauty as well as their ecological relevance. He’s interested in moths as organisms\, with fascinating life histories\, staggering biodiversity\, and a functional importance as indicators of climate change and habitat degradation; but he also sees moths as aesthetic beings and as carriers of meaning. \nScreens with Sleepless Birds (dir Tom Claudon and Dana Melaver\, Germany\, 2021: 45 min)\, a film that tracks the rise of artificially-lit\, industrial greenhouses in the French province of Brittany. The film shows the environmental impact of grow lights on biodiversity\, as well as on our own rhythms and perception of time. In examining the case of agricultural light pollution\, the film raises questions about the unintended consequences of human attempts to overpower nature and control the elements. \nAlso showing: The Bee Keeper’s Journey (The Climate Tribe\, 2024: 6 min)\, a short about beekeeper and ecologist Aisha Hareb Al Dhaheri\, whose passion for beekeeping raises awareness about the local ecosystem in the UAE. \nThis programme is part of the Al Sidr Environmental Film Festival\, a collaboration between NYUAD and Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi
