The Walking Dead icon stars in series confirmed in BFI’s London Climate Action Week programming

by

The British Film Institute (BFI) announced that the new ITV documentary series, Force of Nature, will premiere in Europe as part of London Climate Action Week this year.

As a film buff, I’m really excited about this week-long event! It’s going to be full of screenings and talks at both the BFI IMAX and BFI Southbank. What I love is that it’s all focused on looking at the climate crisis in new ways and how our connection with the natural world is changing – it feels super relevant and thought-provoking.

The documentary series, Force of Nature, featuring narration by Andrew Lincoln of The Walking Dead, will debut at BFI IMAX on June 22nd. It will then be available on ITV1 and ITVX later in the year.

This docuseries tells powerful stories about animals and how they survive extreme weather events like hurricanes, floods, droughts, and wildfires. It highlights both the destructive power of nature and the incredible ways animals adapt and endure.

After a special preview showing at the BFI IMAX, viewers will have a chance to hear from Jo Clinton-Davis (ITV’s Head of Factual), Mark Brownlow (Executive Producer for Plimsoll Productions), and Seb Illis, the series producer, in a question-and-answer session.

As a huge film fan, I’m really excited about a couple of special screenings happening! They’re showing Jurassic Park in 3D on June 28th at the BFI IMAX, and Craig Bennett from The Wildlife Trusts will be introducing it. Plus, they’re doing a screening of Jaws on May 31st, with a fascinating intro from marine scientists Dr. David Curnick and Joanna Barke from the Zoological Society of London. It’s a great way to combine my love of movies with some interesting insights from experts!

On June 25th, we’ll be showing the Brazilian Cinema Novo film Iracema: Uma Transa Amazônica (1975). Then, on June 28th, enjoy the animated family adventure Noah’s Ark, a Brazilian film about Indigenous culture.

The BFI IMAX will screen Disney’s animated adventure, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, on June 27th. Following the film, climate justice advocate Samia Dumbuya and film critic Kambole Campbell will hold a discussion as part of a week-long event.

On June 7th, movie lovers can enjoy Film Society 38 at BFI Southbank, a special event celebrating women filmmakers. The event, presented by BFI National Archive curator Bryony Dixon, will showcase a selection of films made by women, both in front of and behind the camera.
