Come join us for a special one-off film night at Open House, with storytelling and live Q&A with documentary film-maker Remi Bumstead.
Remi is a DOP/ self-shooting Director working internationally across a wide range of projects and stories but with specific focus on human led stories and with a strong focus on under-reported narratives. He uses film as a tool to foster human connection; connection to one another and to the natural world around us. It’s these connections that can act as a conduit for positive societal change. Remi believes in the majesty of the everyday, and that everyone has a powerful story to tell.
Join us for a one-off showcase of his two short films:
Pëkëya.
This film follows a pilgrimage of the community returning to their ancestral land of Pëkëya on the border between Ecuador and Peru in the Amazon basin, which they were forced to flee during the Ecuador and Peru war in the 1940s. This film is a co-production with the NGO YAKUM which supports the Siekopai preserving and safeguarding their ancestral food forests in order to protect the Amazon as a whole.
Diwata.
Mining companies are destroying large parts of ancient forest. However on the island of Palawan in the Philippines a small group of women are standing up against these big companies and protecting the forests and the spirit that lives within them; Diwata.
