This screening will be introduced by Professor Roger Downie, a biologist at Glasgow University who is an active member of Friends of the Earth and of Glasgow Natural History Society.

In the near future, Earth’s flora and fauna has been rendered extinct on the surface. The last remnants of nature are kept in spaceships away from the planet. Botanist Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern) is charged with their safe-keeping. When he is given orders to destroy everything, Lowell starts his own mission, that of saving everything he can, no matter the cost. Directed by special effects legend Douglas Trumbull, Silent Running is a stark reminder of the fragility of nature and our responsibilities in ensuring its continued existence.
