FLOATING CINEMA RETURNS TO LONDON FOR 2013
The Floating Cinema, a 10-week programme of events throughout summer 2013, returns to London's waterways next month. The Floating Cinema has been designed by Duggan Morris Architects in partnership with artists and filmmakers Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie (aka Somewhere) and is conceived as a collection of 'extraordinary cargoes' placed atop a traditional, industrial canal barge.
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AT THE AQUARIUM: KERENZA EVANS EXPLORES THE DEEP BLUE SEA
There’s a scene in the award-winning US sitcom 30 Rock which features David Schwimmer dressed up as “Greenzo – America's first non-judgmental, business-friendly environmental advocate”. My favourite scene sees him chastise a colleague for leaving the refrigerator door open commenting ‘Here's a tip, Cerie. Decide what you want before you open the refrigerator. You just released enough hydroflorocarbons to kill a penguin... *produces a photo of a penguin*…This penguin!”
TOULOUSE LAUTREC: ILLUMINATING KENNINGTON WITH THE PIANO BAR
Watching American movies growing up, I was always intrigued by the thought of the Piano Bar.

UK Green Film Festival 2013 opens with More Than Honey by Markus Imhoof
Bees are dying in their millions. And the consequences of the depletion of bee colonies go much further than having to spreading honey a little thinner on your toast. Oscar nominated director Markus Imhoof travelled to Switzerland, the U.S., Australia and China to show how desperate the crisis is becoming. The result is stunningly-shot More Than Honey. A documentary which takes great pains to remind viewers that a shocking “one third of our food would not exist without bees.”
Revel, Riot and Rebellion at The Art Car Boot Fair
It’s any art lover’s fantasy, being able to parade the title of ‘art collector’ but knowing that your bank account is not dropping into minus figures. For one magical summer’s day dreams can be made reality as The Art Car Boot fair comes to town and takes over the Brick Lane yard on Sunday 9th June.
