Our Shared Futures - Film screenings at Kensington Central Library

Join Kensington and Chelsea and Libraries and Archives for Our Shared Futures: Climate & Migration Film Festival 2025.
We’ll be screening two inspiring films exploring climate change, migration, resilience, and hope - free for all to attend.

Until The Last Drop (2020) dir. Tim Webster & Ernesto Cabellos

Category: Short documentary
Run time: 20 mins 20 seconds

Synopsis: Set in the occupied West Bank, this documentary portrays the lives of two farmers struggling under an unequal, apartheid system of water access. Their story reveals how control over natural resources becomes a tool of oppression, linking environmental injustice with political conflict. The film makes visible the intimate, everyday impacts of global debates about rights, scarcity, and survival.

And Still, It Remains (2023) dir. Arwa Aburawa & Turab Shah

Category: Short documentary
Run time: 28 mins

Synopsis: A poetic and unsettling reflection on the long shadows cast by French nuclear tests in the Algerian Sahara. Combining archival footage, testimony, and striking imagery, the film explores how radioactive contamination and environmental damage continue to affect local communities decades after colonial powers left. It asks what justice means when the land itself remembers violence.

Our Shared Futures: Climate & Migration Community Film Festival 2025 is curated by Counterpoints Arts in partnership with Earth Refuge, CMJ (Climate & Migrant Justice Organising Group), and City of Sanctuary.

Taking place from 21–30 November 2025, during COP30 in Brazil and marking Climate & Migrant Justice Day on 22 November, this free community film festival explores the deep connections between climate change and migration through powerful storytelling.
