CONNECT
Meet at St Paul's Church at 6.15pm. Here we invite people to contribute to our ever-evolving Mycelium Mundus tapestry; share stories of trees; and listen to an ever-evolving created audio work which will play as people enter the auditorium to watch Katy McGahan’s film The
Happy Man Tree (75mins, 12a) which will start at 6.30pm.
The central protagonist of The Happy Man Tree film is a Hackney street tree and
the film charts the attempts on the part of the local community to save it from being felled.​
​​
REFLECT
After the screening you are invited to join a discussion/reflection on the issues that the film raises including the impact of the loss of mature trees and other natural landmarks in towns and cities across the UK. Here we ask the questions: Where Now? What Next?'
