We Are of This Place - Cornwall Climate Care films - Marine Double Bill

There are 2 film showings on Tuesday 29th April. 2025, between 18.30 – 20.30 at Hannafore Point Hotel. 

Two 30 minute films with Q&A.  No booking required.

First Billing: Under the Surface – 30 mins.

Under the Surface is the first episode of Cornwall’s Climate Stories. Presented by beach cleaner Claire Wallerstein, it looks at how the huge rise in public awareness about the impacts of plastic pollution may have diverted attention from an even more urgent environmental problem affecting the sea – climate change. The film features interviews with marine experts talking about the impacts of a changing climate on Cornwall’s basking sharks, plankton, seals and seabirds – but also looking at positive stories about local projects to restore the marine environment, which could help to protect us from the worst effects of climate change.

Second Billing: Living on the Edge – 30 mins.

Cornwall has a longer coastline and is battered by bigger waves than any county in England. The sometimes violent drama that plays out around Cornwall’s shores has always been a part of its identity.

But as climate change brings rising sea levels and worsening storms, what will this mean for Cornwall’s coastal communities?

The film is presented by passionate ultra runner Emma Hazeldine, who takes us on a journey around the Cornish coast path, visiting places that are already being impacted in sometimes surprising ways – and coming up with a range of responses to the challenges that lie just beyond the horizon.

‍“Brilliant. Really the first time I have seen such a balanced account of the challenges facing coastal communities and the causes. Also, the right balance between personal experience and ‘expert’ commentary”.

‍Prof. Gerd Masselink, head of the Coastal Processes Research Group at the University of Plymouth.
