As The Tide Comes In (Screen Machine in Ullapool)

Hosted by Cinetopia

Screening
In-person

Presented by Cinetopia:DOC and Take One Action! (N/C 12A+) 88 mins Directors: Juan Palacios & Sofie Husum Johannesen In Danish with English subtitles. Tickets available on a sliding scale. See below for more info. The 27 residents on the tiny Danish Wadden Sea island of Mandø are used to severe weather and flooding. Climate change has only made things worse and now it poses a serious existential threat to the eight-square-kilometer island. However, its last farmer, Gregers, whose family has lived there for eight generations, hasn’t given up in the face of the impending catastrophe. He refuses to build a life elsewhere and instead hopes to find a wife to manage the farm with him. As a storm is slowly approaching, Gregers and his faithful dog inspect the obsolete dikes that protect his beloved island. In the meantime, Mie blows out the candles of her 100th-year birthday cake, Ellen and Ingeborg complain about the moon disease they suffer from, birdwatcher Niels laments about the rare birds that don’t visit the island anymore, and tourist guide Preben tells stories, about how Mandø’s entire community was almost completely wiped out during a storm surge in 1634, to summer visitors who come and go on a daily basis. Despite the new threats from the rising sea, today’s current generation holds on steadfastly to their little part of the world. The portrait of this microcosm is accompanied by masterfully crafted shots of the distinctive landscape, shifting skies, and seas that change with the wind and tide. In a sense, the grim fate of these islanders, presented in daily humorous situations, affects us all. “Directors Juan Palacios and Sofie Husum Johannesen find beauty and sadness in this visually exquisite documentary about a tiny island community menaced by climate change.” The Film Verdict “Impressively, the film walks that delicate line of both celebrating Mando as an entirely unique place, an island lost in time, and holding it up as a King Canute-esque symbol for humanity’s ongoing fight to hold back the tide.” Screen Daily 12A+: This film is not rated by the BBFC, but we recommend it is appropriate for all those aged 12 and above.

DATE PASSEDCINETOPIA:DOC PRESENTS THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT

Hosted by Cinetopia

Screening, Networking event
In-person

To mark Earth Day 2025, Cinetopia:DOC is proud to host the UK premiere of THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT, a revelatory journey through a pivotal moment in the history of the climate crisis. Using exclusively archival footage as narrative, THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT transports viewers back to 1988-1992, when the world stood at a crossroads in addressing global warming - the 'greenhouse effect'. This compelling documentary exposes how President George H.W. Bush's administration, caught between increasingly alarming scientific evidence and mounting pressure from industrial titans, as well as battling rifts within his own White House team, ultimately undermined crucial climate action at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. This decision dramatically altered our planet's future and set us on the path towards our current climate emergency. From the acclaimed filmmaking team behind ATHLETE A, AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL:TRUTH TO POWER, and the Oscar-nominated LEAD ME HOME, THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT is an unflinching look at how political battles within the White House, and media narratives outside of it, shaped our environmental destiny. Co-directors Bonni Cohen, Pedro Kos, and Jon Shenk masterfully weave archival material to uncover the fascinating and damning origin story of our climate crisis, connecting the dots between past decisions and today's challenges with devastating precision. This special Earth Day screening invites audiences to understand not just how we arrived at our current climate reality, but also to reflect on the power of decisive action, and the consequences of missed opportunities as we continue to confront one of humanity's greatest challenges. Cinetopia:DOC is a monthly documentary club bringing audiences together to watch, discuss and connect around the documentary genre and craft. We screen exceptional documentary films alongside filmmaker Q&As or conversations as well as offer a space afterwards for continued discussion and networking in the Cameo bar. Cinetopia:DOC is supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI's Film Audience Network, and funded by Screen Scotland and National Lottery funding from the BFI and the Scottish Documentary Institute and produced by Cinetopia, a hub of activity around filmgoing and filmmaking based in Edinburgh.
