BLUE CARBON: NATURE'S HIDDEN POWER is told through the eyes of Grammy-nominated music producer, DJ and environmental toxicologist, Jayda Guy, accompanied by a score from the Wu-Tang Clan's RZA and featuring Seu Jorge. 

Blue Carbon is an environmental documentary that brings together music and science to uncover what could be one of our greatest weapons in the fight against climate change. 

Filmed in the USA, Senegal, Vietnam, France, Colombia and Brazil, the documentary explores the latest science around the relatively newly-discovered potential of coastal ecosystems to help remove carbon from our atmosphere. This "Blue Carbon" as scientists are now calling it, can be found in salt-marshes, sea-grasses and mangroves, but once again it is a race against time to protect and restore these vital ecosystems and to harness their untold power in the battle against global warming. 

Punctuated with stunning encounters with the natural world - such as the Florida manatee, humpback whales and the American crocodile - and uncovering the unlikely, local heroes at the heart of conservation, the film provides a much-needed ray of hope in troubling times. 

TRAPPED BY PLASTIC

British photographer Mandy Barker reveals the devastating and far-reaching impact of marine plastic pollution through her work. Filmmaker Anny Tubbs, after meeting Mandy following her expedition with scientists to the South Pacific's Henderson Island, chronicles her decade-long journey, capturing the transformative power of her vibrant images as a compelling "call to action". 

Beyond captivating film festival audiences around the word, this film was shown as part of discussions on ending marine plastic pollution at EU Green Week 2021 and the COP26 Blue Zone installation by the British Council. 

Green Screen is the Electric Palace's newest screening strand, showing films with an environmental theme followed by discussion and inspiration for direct, hopeful action against climate change. Each screening will be followed by an optional half-hour discussion plus practical ideas for taking direct action.
