Award Winning Films from the 2026 Frome International Climate Film Festival

THE FILM ROOM – COMMUNITY CINEMA, supporting new and current filmmakers locally and from around the world, because everyone should have a voice. Non mainstream cinema which matters.

18th November Films
FILM 1 – WHEN SOLAR LIGHTS UPON THE COMMUNITY: In a timeworn community in Shanghai, a group of Green Housewives has turned the neighbourhood into a stage for renewable energy. When solar lights upon the community, the players step forward: a mother of three who studied renewable power in Scandinavia; an artist who creates gallery-worthy sculptures with the community from recyclables; China’s first household-solar pioneer; a high-schooler who runs the community garden’s irrigation on renewable energy.
FILM 2 – WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD WILDLIFE IN THE CITY: The city is like a living organism. Healthy and in perfect balance, it can make its inhabitants happy, people as well as animals and plants. If it gets out of balance, it becomes ill and with it all the creatures that live in it. It is a valuable habitat for animals such as hedgehogs, rhinoceros beetles and swallowtails. But cities are under pressure.
