Silent Friend Film Screening
A visually stunning film explores the bonds between humans and nature, spanning three generations. This screening marks a special charter recognition in Lewes.
In a German university town, a majestic ginkgo tree silently observes three generations of people as they uncover the secrets of botanical life and are transformed by nature's power. Directed by Ildikó Enyedi, Silent Friend features a cast including Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Léa Seydoux, and Luna Wedler, and is a meditation on the hidden bonds between humans and nature.
The film is a century-spanning exploration, with storylines set in 1908, 1972, and 2020, each delving into the transformative power of observing and interacting with the natural world. With a runtime of 147 minutes, Silent Friend is a German, French, Hungarian, and Chinese production, featuring English and German languages with English subtitles.
This special screening will take place on Sunday, 15 November 2026, at the Depot in Lewes. Tickets are with the button beside the article. The event marks Lewes' Rights of Trees Charter, recognising trees as living beings with intrinsic ecological, cultural, and community value, making this screening a unique and meaningful experience.
