Tawai: A Voice from the Forest.

United Kingdom, 2017 / 101 Mins

Director: Bruce Parry, Mark Ellam

Starring: Bruce Parry, Ingrid Lewis, Jerome Lewis

Tawai is the word the nomadic hunter gatherers of Borneo use to describe their inner feeling of connection to nature. In this dreamy, philosophical and sociological look at life, explorer Bruce Parry travels from the jungles of Malaysia to the tributaries of the Amazon to learn from people living lives very different to our own.

Preceding the main feature, and brought to you by Random Acts Presents, we are pleased to be showing the short film Untamed Truths. Directed by Sophie Marsh, a paper animation tells the history of animals through the alphabet. For adults only...

Random Acts Presents is a joint initiative between Arts Council England, Channel 4 Random Acts and five National Network Centres (Tyneside Cinema, ICA, Calling the Shots, Rural Media and Screen South) working together to commission young artists and filmmakers to make short films.
