"Compelling.. a Jeckyl and Hyde psycho drama." ~ The Guardian

"Very moving.. Everything seems beautifully accidental." ~ Loose Ends, BBC Radio 4

Father Earth is the true story of one man’s attempt to help save the planet, by converting a derelict church on a windswept island in Orkney into an eco friendly recording studio, having driven a G Wiz electric car there all the way from London.

That’s the plan, but Life and Relationships - specifically between fathers and sons - can get in the way, appearing even more important than the future of the planet! 

Starring Graham Fellows as himself, and his comic alter ego John Shuttleworth - with guest appearances by Kids’ TV legends Sooty and Sweep - the real star of Father Earth is perhaps Graham’s eccentric and mathematically driven father Derek. 

Father Earth was filmed mainly in the Orkney Isles over a 10 year period and is Fellows’ first movie project since Southern Softies in 2008. This was the sequel to It’s Nice Up North (2005) a collaboration with renowned photographer Martin Parr and described by The Telegraph as "A bit of a shambles, frankly, and utterly inspired". Both films were distributed by Picture House and screened on Sky Arts TV. (Directed by Graham Fellows, UK, 83 min)

The screening will be followed by a live onstage Q&A with Graham Fellows (AKA John Shuttleworth).
