On Sunday evening the 19th we will finish off with a one-time-only Dinner and film night. A set menu of two courses followed by a full screening of Garbage Warrior an inspirational true story of maverick US architect Michael Reynolds and his fight to introduce radically sustainable housing.

‘Imagine a home that heats itself, that provides its own water, that grows its own food. Imagine that it needs no expensive technology, that it recycles its own waste, that it has its own power source. And now imagine that it can be built anywhere, by anyone, out of the things society throws away. Michael Reynolds and his crew of renegade house builders from New Mexico, are filmed in their fight to introduce radically different ways of living. Garbage Warrior also tells of how Michael and his team went out to Louisianna after hurricane Katrina and showed people how to rebuild their lives from the devastation and rubbish around them’. In a unique visit, Garbage Warrior director Oliver Hodge is coming to Canvas & Cream to introduce his film.
