MMMM! Monday Movie Meal & Mingling

Next MMMM! –  Monday 20 July

Beavers (31 mins) 1988

First released in 1988, Beavers was the first giant screen feature with a natural history focus on a single creature.

Exhibited in IMAX® and other giant screen theatres, the film’s furry stars and their story garnered awards and drew extensive family and school audiences and more than 10 million viewers across the planet. Beavers has screened in 21 countries in 17 different languages and remains distinctively, “the Biggest Dam Movie…Anyone Ever Saw” and for the choosy, the ultimate giant screen treat. The film is now set to wow new generations of audiences.

A charming film with lots of footage of beavers just being beavers.

 

Beaver Fever: The busy beavers bringing wetlands back to the UK (28 mins) 2023

The surprise return of beavers to the British countryside brings benefits and controversy for humans and wildlife alike. The work of these famously busy rodents increases local biodiversity, reduces storm-induced flooding, and restores wilderness to a highly manicured landscape. It also injects some chaos into the lives of the beavers’ human neighbours. Can the British beavers regain their former glory as powerful ecosystem engineers, or is their new home too domesticated to return to the wild?
