Derk vs Derek is screening as part of National Cinema Weekend.
We are very excited to present a preview of this brand-new documentary shot on location in Devon. (UK general release is October 15th)
On a country road in Devon, intensive dairy farmer Derek Banbury is horrified at the “devastation” of his neighbour’s once productive farm. Dubbed a “maverick rewilder” by the media, Derek Gow is an unrepentant ex-sheep farmer hellbent on turning his land into an oasis for nature.
Shot over three years the film charts the two Derek’s turbulent relationship, as tempers fray, wild animals run amok, and the land is radically transformed. Made by award-winning director James Dawson, it’s a film about land use and farming told by farmers. Blunt, funny and heartwarming in equal measure.

SHALBORNE A film by Caroline Corrie screening as part of National Cinema Weekend
Our Weekend of cinema closes with a very special film shot on location in DEVON.
SHALBORNE is Caroline Corrie’s Debut feature film. She is the writer, director, producer, lead actress, production designer, costume maker and more… Set in 1905 and filmed in Devon it is a micro, micro budget independent film which recently won ‘Best foreign Feature’ at the Female Eye film festival in Toronto at TIFF Lightbox and features in September’s edition of Devon Life magazine celebrating this ‘tour de force’.
In 1905 in rural Devon, a cruel and lonely marriage to Lord Bartlett becomes too much for Helen to bear. Leaving her husband’s ancestral home, she treks across Dartmoor pushing her sick and ageing father on a cart. Taking refuge in a deserted barn, she is discovered by Lord Shalborne, who offers her temporary shelter on his estate. While a connection flourishes between them Helen finds she must risk everything to change her circumstances and discovers that courage may not be enough to challenge the patriarchal ideals of her time.
“Beautifully constructed” Alex Walton WME
“A masterpiece executed on a shoestring budget” Angela Richardson, Redhead Productions.
“The most audacious and accomplished first feature I’ve seen in years” Kevin Mayher, Film critic for The Times.
We are looking forward to welcoming the film’s director Caroline Corrie to the Flavel and she will be in conversation after the film.

Nine-year-old Sophia (Emily Matthews) spends the summers at her family’s seasonal home on a tranquil isle in the Gulf of Finland, but this will be the first summer without her mother. Her father (Anders Danielsen Lie) remains numbed by grief, while her grandmother (Glenn Close) guides her on a giddy, winding path towards young adulthood. With a sense of infinite possibility and a tender regard for the wonders of the natural world, Sophia and her grandmother explore the terrain, celebrate midsommar, and test the limits of faith in the face of life’s many storms. Adapted from Tove Jansson’s beloved novel, The Summer Book is a delicate account of growing up and growing old, beautifully filmed on 16mm in majestic natural light.
“It’s rare to come across a film so peaceful and sublime, never grating or meandering, so deeply in love with the magnificence of life on this planet.” Alex Billington, FirstShowing.net
