Film Screening of Savages for International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples

​Event date: Sunday 9th August, 2pm-5pm

Join Green Arts Oxfordshire Network, CUT Campaign and Oxford Friends of the Earth for a special screening of award-winning PG-rated stop-motion animation Savages, to mark International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples – complete with an snacks, an intro and Q&A!

In Borneo, near the tropical forest, Kéria rescues a baby orangutang in the palm oil plantation where her father works. Kéria’s cousin Selaï comes to live with them seeking refuge from the conflict between his indigenous tribe and the logging companies. Kéria, Selaï and the little orangutang, now named Oshi, will have to fight against their forest’s destruction.

This heartwarming and galvanising film is by award-winning ‘My Life as a Zucchini’ director Claude Barras, telling the story of a group of Indigenous people trying to protect their land from rampant deforestation – through the cinematic art of stop-motion animation. This event is in support of the Clean Up The Tropical Timber Trade (CUT) campaign and the Friends of the Earth Planet Not Profit campaign.

Supported by Oxfordshire County Council as part of CAG Oxfordshire’s Small Grants programme.
