"Ackroyd & Harvey: The Art of Activism"
Tull Stories' upcoming documentary "Ackroyd & Harvey: The Art of Activism" (80') will be released in UK cinemas from 19th September. Documentary filmmaker Fiona Cunningham-Reid presents an intimate portrait of internationally acclaimed artists Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, who work at the intersection of art, activism, biology and ecology.
The film offers singular access into the lives, work and partnership of the artists, and their quest to shake humanity into action on climate catastrophe - whatever the personal cost - including their collaboration with Extinction Rebellion, and co-founding the movement Culture Declares Emergency.
Meticulous and thoughtful, this careful study of a lifelong creative partnership asks questions of where art and hope - and love - stand in our very uncertain world.
Director Fiona Cunningham-Reid said "having been blown away by the reaction to the film so far, we're very excited to share it with a wider audience in UK & Irish cinemas. Our aim is that the film's message of beauty, hope, and the of benefits of positive action (even in the most testing of times!) will continue to inspire and entertain viewers from all walks of life."
