OUR LAND (2026)

[12A]

Ahead of the inaugural edition of Manufactory, Park Royal Design District presents an expanded programme of film, moving image and live public screenings in North Acton Square, exploring industry, architecture, labour and the city. Spanning artists’ moving image, classic cinema, family films and shared public events, the programme introduces audiences to some of the themes surrounding Manufactory while creating new opportunities to gather in the district throughout the summer.

As part of the programme, North Acton Square presents Orban Wallace’s Our Land [12A] (2026). Our Land dares to tread where few have trespassed before, asking the timely question of who has the right to roam in the English countryside? The UK is a wild and beautiful place, but the vast majority of it is off limits to the general public, with 92% of land and 97% of all rivers in England not legally accessible. At the same time, it is a landscape shaped by centuries of inheritance and tradition, with land held and cared for by families across multiple generations.

Our Land takes us to the heart of the ‘Right to Roam’ movement as it embarks on a provocative trail of mass trespass, campaigning and education, while also exploring landowners’ concerns around environmental protection and the danger such widespread access could pose to a landscape already under threat.

The wider Summer Screenings programme follows public broadcasts of the FIFA World Cup and Wimbledon Championships in North Acton Square and continues through the summer with film screenings and selected live sports, ahead of Manufactory on 11–12 September 2026.

Presented as part of the Summer Streets programme, supported by the Mayor of London, Ealing Council and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC).
