Molly V’s THE MACHINES on THIS EVENJNG Thurs 5th March 9pm

The Guardian – Molly vs the Machines review – a powerful story of love, loss and the dangers of social media

‘Nearly a decade later, her best friends from school, interviewed for this documentary, have grown into articulate, impressive women in their early 20s. Watching them, you can’t help but be struck all over again by the terrible tragedy of Molly’s death and the loss to her family, who will never see the young woman Molly would be now.’

– 5 Stars: Molly vs the Machines: a film every parent should watch

‘This devastating and brilliant documentary’

‘As brave and dignified as Ian Russell is, it is Molly’s friends who leave the deepest impression. Now in their early twenties, they remember her with warmth and have a sharp understanding of why she died. These are members of the social media generation who understand its evils, even if they are still on Instagram.’

‘If there is a grain of hope it lies in films like this one.’

Acknowledging the total paradox of using here to spread the word - please watch this.

Molly V’s THE MACHINES Nationwide World Premiere TODAY March 1st in cinemas across the UK (ticket link in bio) and on Thurs 5th March 9pm

Molly V’s THE MACHINES Nationwide World Premiere March 1st in cinemas across the UK (ticket link in bio) and on Thurs 5th March 9pm

It has been a privilege, and to be honest both deeply challenging and inspirational to be a part of this vital piece of work. Acknowledging the total paradox of using here to spread the word - please watch this.

From a teenager’s suburban bedroom to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley, Molly Vs THE MACHINES is the story of a heartbroken father’s quest to uncover the truth behind his daughter’s death and his fightback against how the most powerful corporations of the modern age operate.

The film arrives in cinemas at a time when politicians are actually talking about taking urgent action. This is a film to watch together and to have conversations about - whatever your starting point may be. Take a friend with you, take a parent or grandparent, or anyone over the age of 15 who needs to know that what happened to Molly could happen to any of us. Once we fully understand the problem, we can work together to push for solutions that work for everyone.

We hope every screening will inspire people to connect and build momentum for a more accountable digital future.

ScanLAB Projects in the !

"Some artists offer a glimpse of a future that is already occurring in some climates. Others imagine a world past the point of survival."

"A few years ago, the garden () invited to create a digital installation that explores how the changing climate was affecting plants, including the now fallen saguaro. ScanLAB is among a handful of artist-led groups using data to explore the climate crisis, giving visual forms to complex and daunting subjects, not to spark fear but rather to educate on the facts."

Don't miss your chance to see the exhibition, which continues at  through May 10, 2026. Get your tickets at desertpulse.org

FRAMERATE: Desert Pulse is a portrait of a place over time:
a year in the life of Phoenix and the Sonoran Desert.

Vast landscapes ebb and flow. The intimate breath of cacti is revealed.
Fragile soil subtly shifts. Sudden rushes of green flood desert floors. The sun arcs across epic rock formations. Heat lingers, longer each year.
Old life bakes into slow decay. Scorched. New life emerges. Succulent forms fold, expand, contract, and blossom in an exquisitely adapted response. 

Phoenix grows.  New asphalt laid; new homes born.
We irrigate, cultivate, herd, harvest, consume.
We gather - in ritual, in routine, in celebration.
Together we make beautiful patterns and leave permanent imprints.

Desert Pulse invites your attention,  a different perspective attuned to different timescales:
The lifespan of a saguaro. The slow formation of an aquifer. The fleeting blaze of a bloom.

Join us to contemplate change, and the pace of change.
To pause, to think, to hope.
