Taming the Garden

We were delighted to previously screen this film but we have no current plans to screen it again. If you'd like to watch it in the cinema, consider a private hire to watch it with friends. That does rely on the film being available for private purchase.

[A] fascinating and deadpan film…

Surreal, serene and maybe just a little bit sacred.

Providing a devastating metaphor for a world gone mad, this is a poetic, provocative example of how a hard-hitting documentary tug on the communal conscience can also be wittily artistic.
