What do you do when your neighbour goes completely wild?

On a country road in Devon, two neighbouring farmers called Derek find themselves on opposite sides of a very big question: what should the countryside look like?

Derek Banbury believes in intensive farming and producing food from the land. His neighbour, Derek Gow, has taken a very different path, turning his farm over to nature and rewilding it into an oasis for wildlife.

As wild boar escape, beavers move in and tempers fray, James Dawson’s funny and warm documentary follows the two Dereks over three years as their disagreement develops into something much more unexpected.

At the heart of the film is a timely question about the future of farming, biodiversity and rural communities – can food production and nature restoration find a way to live side by side?

A funny, thoughtful and surprisingly moving film about farming, rewilding and what happens when two very different neighbours have to find common ground.

Come along, experience this extraordinary film on the big screen, discover more of our growing film community at Y Stiwdio, and pay what you feel. Your contribution helps support accessible community cinema and the development of future screenings.

About Spotlight

The BFI Film Audience Network (FAN) Spotlight programme invests in all eight hub regions across the UK, taking a hyper-local approach to areas where there are otherwise few or no screenings of UK independent or international film.

Working in three-year cycles, a lead delivery partner works with locally based film organisations to establish new community-driven screening activities and learning opportunities, helping projects continue into the future.

In Wales, WOW Film Festival is leading this initiative, working with local partners such as Cwm Arian to develop film activity in venues and communities across the country.

Supported by Film Hub Wales as part of the BFI Film Audience Network (FAN), made possible by the National Lottery.

Beth wyt ti’n ei wneud pan fydd dy gymydog yn mynd yn hollol wyllt?

Ar ffordd wledig yn Nyfnaint, mae dau ffermwr sy’n rhannu’r un enw, Derek, yn cael eu hunain ar ddwy ochr cwestiwn mawr iawn: sut ddylai cefn gwlad edrych?

Mae Derek Banbury yn credu mewn ffermio dwys a chynhyrchu bwyd o’r tir. Mae ei gymydog, Derek Gow, wedi dewis llwybr hollol wahanol, gan droi ei fferm drosodd i natur a’i hailwylltio nes iddi ddod yn hafan i fywyd gwyllt.

Wrth i faeddod gwyllt ddianc, afancod ymsefydlu a thymerau boethi, mae rhaglen ddogfen ddoniol a chynnes James Dawson yn dilyn y ddau Derek dros gyfnod o dair blynedd, wrth i’w anghytundeb ddatblygu’n rhywbeth llawer mwy annisgwyl.

Wrth wraidd y ffilm mae cwestiwn amserol am ddyfodol ffermio, bioamrywiaeth a chymunedau gwledig: a all cynhyrchu bwyd ac adfer natur gydfodoli ochr yn ochr?

Ffilm ddoniol, dreiddgar a rhyfeddol o deimladwy am ffermio, ailwylltio a’r hyn sy’n digwydd pan fydd yn rhaid i ddau gymydog â safbwyntiau cwbl wahanol ddod o hyd i dir cyffredin.

Dewch draw i brofi’r ffilm arbennig hon ar y sgrin fawr, i ddarganfod mwy am ein cymuned ffilm sy’n tyfu yn Y Stiwdio, ac i dalu’r hyn a deimlwch. Mae eich cyfraniad yn helpu i gefnogi sinema gymunedol hygyrch a datblygu rhagor o sgriniadau yn y dyfodol.
