’Hopes For Our Future Environment’ was created by families during outdoor workshops across Medway. This collaborative stop motion film brings together animations made from natural materials found in local parks — leaves, flowers, stones and twigs. Each sequence explores the question “What do we want to pass down to the next generation?” Reflecting on care for nature and the planet, the film celebrates creativity, connection and renewal.
