Cinema

Award-winning documentary filmmaker Fiona Cunningham-Reid presents an intimate portrait of internationally acclaimed artists in Ackroyd & Harvey: The Art of Activism.

The film explores the lives of Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, who work at the intersection of art, activism, biology and ecology.

Ackroyd & Harvey are known for their striking living artworks, from vast photosynthesised portraits grown from grass to the unforgettable grass coats that made headlines during London Fashion Week.

Together they explore how creativity can spark conversations about climate change, ecology, and our shared future.

Filmed across pivotal moments including their work with Extinction Rebellion and the global pandemic, Ackroyd & Harvey: The Art of Activism offers a powerful reflection on collaboration, change, and the enduring connection between culture and the planet.
