F*ck For Forest
Wed 8 May, 18:00
Berlin’s F*ck For Forest is one of the
world’s most bizarre charities. Based
on the idea that sex can save the
world, the NGO raises money for its
environmental cause by selling
home-made erotic films on the
internet. Meet Danny, a troubled soul,
as he accidentally discovers this
exuberant, neo-hippy world where
sexual liberation merges with global
altruism and joins their already
colourful operation. From the streets
of Berlin to the depths of the Amazon,
together they are on a planet-saving
mission to buy a piece of forest and
save the indigenous peoples from the
sick, sick West.

The Gatekeepers
Mon 13 – Thu 16 May
Charged with overseeing Israel's war
on terror, the head of the Shin Bet,
Israel's secret service, is present at the
crossroads of every decision made.
For the first time ever six former heads
of the agency agreed to share their
insights and reflect publicly on their
actions and decisions for this film.
Nominated for this year’s Best
Documentary Feature Academy
Award, The Gatekeepers offers an
exclusive account of the sum of their
success and failures. It explores how
each man individually and the six as a
group came to reconsider their
hard-line positions and advocate a
conciliatory approach toward their
enemies based on a two-state
solution.

Village at the End
of the World
Tue 28 May, 18:00
Lars is the only teenager in town who,
in a community of hunters, doesn’t
want to hunt. With a population of only
59, Niaqornat in North West Greenland
has no local industry, and people are
being forced to leave to find jobs in the
nearest town. Whilst the rest of the
community pull together to try and
re-open the fish-factory, Lars begins to
plan his escape.
We know that there are very real
pressures on a place like this – the ice
is melting, the government no longer
wants to subsidise the supply ship that
brings the food that can’t be hunted
locally and people are leaving due to
the lack of work. Village at the End of
the World is a film that reflects the
dilemmas of many small communities
all over the world; Niagornat just
happens to be in one of the most
remote spots on earth.
