Tidal Cinema is a film programme on extractivism, coastal communities, climate and environmental justice, part of Timespan’s research programme Coastal Commons: Beyond North Sea Extractivism.

Tidal Cinema aims to critically engage with the effects of extractivism on both local and global scales and to underscore the urgent need to reimagine our relationship to natural resources and energy production. The films are usually accompanied by a dialogical platform, fostering discussion, reflection and action on these vital issues.
