Youth Film Showcase: Londons Hidden Track

This event marks the launch of the London Wildlife Trust’s new short film “A Hidden Track”—a fully youth-led project created in collaboration between a group of young filmmakers (Elm Visuals) and the London Wildlife Trust Youth Board. In collaboration with the London Wildlife Trust, the film showcases what young people can achieve when working together and shines a light on the often-overlooked green spaces that already exist across London. At its heart, it also serves as a call to action: to protect, expand, and improve access to nature for young people in our city.

The short narrative follows two young Londoners, each overwhelmed by the relentless pace of urban life. Through separate visits to the London Wildlife Trust’s Walthamstow Wetlands, they experience moments of calm, reflection, and renewed connection—to themselves, to each other, and to the natural world around them. The film underscores the mental health benefits of nature, the urgency of preserving green spaces, and the role of community-driven climate action in building a fairer, greener London.

The event will feature a premiere screening of the film, followed by a live Q&A with members of the LWT Youth Board and the youth filmmaking team. Attendees will also have the chance to connect with fellow Londoners who are passionate about climate, creativity, and community.

Premiering as part of London Climate Action Week (LCAW), this event speaks directly to LCAW’s mission to mobilise cross-sectoral climate action. It highlights the creative power of youth in driving environmental change and explores the importance of accessible green spaces in fostering resilience, wellbeing, and climate engagement.
