One shared name. Two neighbouring farmers. Two completely different visions for the future of agriculture 

Bath Film Festival presents a special screening of Derek v Derek, a funny, thought-provoking, and surprisingly moving documentary about a dispute between two Devon farmers that opens up one of the biggest debates facing rural Britain today.

One Derek believes in intensive farming and food production. The other has dedicated his land to rewilding and creating a haven for wildlife. The film explores the tensions and challenges as wild animals escape boundaries are tested and frustrations grow!

Set against the backdrop of the changing English countryside, Derek v Derek tackles urgent questions about food, nature, land use and who gets to shape the future of our rural landscapes, all through the lens of a deeply personal neighbourly feud.

The screening will take place at Jamie’s Farm and will be followed by a short film showcasing the charity’s inspiring work supporting young people through farming, food, and nature.

Alongside the film, we’ll be joined by filmmakers Nicola Brown and James Dawson, alongside Jamie Fielding from Jamie’s Farm and a local farmer tba, for a live Q&A exploring the making of the film, regenerative farming, rural communities, and how young people can reconnect with the natural world through farming and nature.
