MEET THE TEAM ⭐️ 🎥 During the last couple of months two young promising talents have been working tirelessly behind the scenes at HQ on our two newest productions. They deserve a massive shoutout and big recognition - because of them, we’ve had two of the smoothest and most efficiently ran productions since the start of NHF.

Is there perhaps only one way to describe it?

Great poetry can stir up sensations, the hearing of sounds, the smell of aromas, the sight of beauty, and it lets new life begin. Maximum freedom in the smallest spaces, where everything finds its place.

Don’t drink wine unless you’re ready to feel.

Fattoria Le Pupille is proud to share our latest brand film: the Five Senses of Wine. Shot in the beautiful land of Maremma, a poetic visual tale on the sensations and images evoked by the simple yet complex pleasure of tasting a glass of wine.

Love for the land, passion for wine.

LAST CALL FOR TOMORROW
Directed by Gary Null & Valerie Van Cleve.

Brochure and tickets at either https://www.unrestrictedview.co.uk/ or https://uvff.co.uk/uvff-2021

Last Call for Tomorrow, reflects on the crisis' facing all life on Earth.

We are witnessing the 6th Mass Extinction of our planet. We are loosing about 200 species a day. Humanity has killed 83% of all wild mammals and half of all plants. Of the birds left in the world, 70% are poultry chickens and other farmed birds.
Global industrial pollution is killing over 9 million people a year, through bad air and water.
What recourse can the people take, when there are no effective 
institutions to deal with the global one world order.
We face a clear choice: radical political transformation or deepening mass extinction.

To secure a sustainable future, we must change how we think, who we are, and how we live.
