ON THIS MONTH: FILM We the Uncivilised Lily and Pete Sequoia, permaculture filmmakers I meet Lily and Pete in the van which serves both as their home and as the vehicle which tows a trailer containing the 40-person-capacity military tent they have converted into a cinema and event space. This remarkable pop-up space enables them to showcase and discuss the documentary they have spent the last four years making and touring, We the Uncivilised, a Life Story. The film explores the ethics and mechanics of permaculture, the ecological way of life incorporating, in Pete’s words, “earth care, people care, and fair share.” It’s a beautifully rounded project: the couple, with their young daughter Solara, travelled round the country – from Devon to the Hebrides – interviewing outliers who embrace various permaculture-friendly lifestyles; “a mixture of grass roots activists, pioneers of the eco movement, and storytellers”. Then they drove back to their then home-berth at Zu Studios in the Phoenix industrial estate, and spent a year editing hundreds of hours of footage down to a feature-length movie. In the summer of 2016 they retraced their steps, playing the film in many of the places they’d been, as well as others besides. Over 25,000 people watched it. The couple met in Brighton in 2009 after dropping out of successful careers in London: Pete had been a designer working on international projects, Lily the PA for a marketing consultancy, and then a PT in a city gym. Neither of them were comfortable living within the corporate system; it was only after Pete did a Permaculture Design MA at Brighton University, and the couple spent their honeymoon funds on a six-month stay in the Chilean Andes studying permaculture among the indigenous people, that they worked out a new path. They bought themselves a van to give them the freedom they needed to explore a new way of life. They needed to jump through countless hoops to complete their project, from raising money for the production and post-production, to finding somebody capable of fine-tuning the editing process: particularly they are grateful to the creative community that had grown up around Zu. The journey showing the film round the country, between June and November 2016 was particularly gruelling (and, incidentally, entirely negotiated on biofuel). That’s not the end of the matter: the couple have continued to tour the film at festivals this summer, to get their ideas across. “We want to create an opportunity for people to connect with their feelings about what is unfolding and to be empowered by the process...” says Lily, “and where possible connect people, communities and ideas that challenge and resist the dominant narratives, and attempt to tell a different story of how we can live together in relationship to our environments.” The latest screening of the film, at the Depot, includes a Q&A with the filmmakers, and a guest panel, chaired by Ben Szobody, consisting of ONCA director Persephone Pearl, Peter Owen Jones (Vicar of Firle and TV presenter) and Lilian Simonsson, editor of the film.
