Graham is no stranger to the festival having previously
screened his films It’s Nice Up North and Southern Softies
and performing as Jilted John at the Punk In The Provinces
event in 2017.
Graham will be introducing his latest film Father Earth and
there will be an opportunity to ask questions following the
screening.
"Compelling.. Jeckyl and Hyde psycho drama." The Guardian
"Very moving.. Everything seems beautifully accidental."

This event has happened.
FATHER EARTH is the true story of one man’s attempt to help save the planet, by converting a derelict church on a windswept island in Orkney into an eco friendly recording studio, having driven a G Wiz electric car there all the way from London.
That’s the plan, but Life and Relationships - specifically between fathers and sons - can get in the way, appearing even more important than the future of the planet!
Starring Graham Fellows as himself, and his comic alter ego John Shuttleworth - with guest appearances by Kids’ TV legends Sooty and Sweep - the real star of Father Earth is perhaps Graham’s eccentric and mathematically driven father Derek.
Father Earth was filmed mainly in the Orkney Isles over a 10 year period and is Fellows’ first movie project since Southern Softies in 2008. This was the sequel to ‘It’s Nice Up North’ (2005) a collaboration with renowned photographer Martin Parr anddescribed by The Telegraph as ‘A bit of a shambles, frankly, and utterly inspired’.
