Australian heavy music act In Hearts Wake is releasing the official trailer for their feature length documentary "Green Is The New Black" alongside the announcement of Australian and international screening dates across Earth Week 2022 this April. Conceived during the catastrophic bush fires of early 2020, filmed during the global pandemic and released as unprecedented floods have devastated the East coast of Australia, Green Is The New Black holds a mirror up to the music industry and its relationship to the environment. Green Is The New Black chronicles the making of In Hearts Wake’s 100% carbon offset 2020 album Kaliyuga and their journey to become a certified Carbon Neutral Organisation but it’s more than a film about one band and one album. As In Hearts Wake examine their processes and search for more environmentally sustainable options, inspiring new possibilities for an entire industry begin to emerge. Through conversations with creatives, experts and professionals including Damon Gameau (2040, That Sugar Film), Tamara Smith (Greens Member for Parliament), AY Young (United Nations Young Leader), Jessica Ducrou (Splendour in the Grass Festival Co-founder), Heidi Lennfer (FEAT Artists) and Luke Logemann (UNFD Records), In Hearts Wake uncover unsettling truths, face human adversity and discover inspiring solutions for a new earth-aligned way forward. Green Is The New Black will screen at Bangalow Film Festival on 12th April, with 100% of ticket sales to be donated to local charities directly assisting the Northern Rivers flood recovery. Kicking off in Earth Week, Green Is The New Black will then screen at Palace Cinemas around Australia as well as special screenings in Los Angeles, Toronto and London. Formed in Byron Bay in 2006, In Hearts Wake are one of Australia’s leading heavy music acts. Their fiercely loyal following has been forged from relentless world touring, passionate ecological advocacy and hard-hitting, melodic-driven music. The band have received four top-5 records, earned an ARIA nomination for Best Hard Rock album, 110 million digital streams and over 100,000 records sold worldwide. They are the only known band to be registered as a Carbon Neutral Organisation. “When we first started this band, we just wanted to tour the world and play music, but the further we travelled the more it hit home. We were unintentionally endangering our own future. The world we knew was changing fast and we realised we had to change with it.” Jake Taylor, vocalist In Hearts Wake / Producer and Co-Director Green Is The New Black. GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK SCREENINGS Presented by Heaps Normal, Afends, New World Artists & UNFD

Novelist, poet and social critic, Thomas Hardy was a man of enormous depth and character with a distinctive darkness about him. Hardy’s life is now explored in an illuminating new documentary "Thomas Hardy: Fate, Exclusion And Tragedy" by Odyssey Television and premiering on Sky Arts on Tuesday 14th September 2021. Author of classics such as Far from the Madding Crowd, Tess of the d’Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure, Hardy’s work reflects the human tragedy of his characters’ lives as they struggle with their passions, fate, and their position in society, always with the upmost compassion and in vivid detail. Hardy’s modest upbringing made him aware of the hypocrisies of Victorian class society. As his popularity rose, he became increasingly conscious of a feeling of being between classes, of loving London Society but never feeling part of it. This, matched with his love for nature, meant he preferred to spend much of his time in the rolling landscapes of his Dorset home, the land he called Wessex. Hardy focused his novels on the social specificities and suffering of the people that lived there with brooding vision. "Thomas Hardy: Fate, Exclusion And Tragedy" explores Hardy’s complicated relationship with women, both in his works and life. Hardy married his first wife Emma in 1874. He fell genuinely and profoundly in love with her – but this intense love was to last for just two years. Love and respect turned to hostility and bitterness in the last years of Emma’s life. At the same time, Hardy fell in love with a young writer - 39 years his junior - Florence Dugdale. Following Emma’s sudden and unexpected death, Hardy married Florence. His profound experience of and reaction to Emma’s death affected him intensely. It produced a great explosion of what was to be his greatest poetic work. It also marked a pronounced shift in his character. Hardy regretted the way he had treated his wife and as he remembered the intensity of his love for her. "Thomas Hardy: Fate, Exclusion And Tragedy" delves into his incredible abilities as a writer, a critic of the oppressive forces of society and looks at Hardy’s ability to eloquently chastise the values of the world he inhabited with an acute sense of compassion for human tragedy, as a man haunted by both rage and empathy. The programme also includes extracts from leading feature films based on Hardy novels, including Kate Winslet and Christopher Ecclestone in Jude, Eddie Redmayne and Gemma Arterton in Tess of the d’Urbervilles, and Julie Christie in Far from the Madding Crowd. "Thomas Hardy: Fate, Exclusion And Tragedy" Produced and directed by Adrian Munsey and Vance Goodwin. © Odyssey Television MMXXI. TX Date: Tuesday 14th September 2021 Running Time: 48 minutes Featuring: Professor Ralph Pite, Claire Tomalin, Professor Dinah Birch, Professor Angelique Richardson Narrated by: Anna Wilson-Jones.
