Community Screening: The Hexagonal Hive and a Mouse in a Maze

In 2016-2017, filmmakers Bartek Dziadosz and Lily Ford made a number of visits to Drumduan to observe and film the school and speak to its community. In the film, scenes from these visits, along with scenes of learning and working in other global locations, are brought together with a playful investigative drive to think about what it really means to learn. Teachers, children, scientists, artists, AI avatars and fictional characters all have a say.

This screening is our chance to share the film with those who participated in the filming, and the school community. Bartek and Lily will introduce the film, and participate in a Q&A session afterwards.

The Hexagonal Hive and a Mouse in a Maze is directed by Bartek Dziadosz and Tilda Swinton, with music by Simon Fisher Turner, and produced by Lily Ford and Vijay Vaidyanathan. It premiered this year at Sheffield DocFest (UK), Telluride Film Festival (USA) and Dokumentale (Germany). It does not yet have distribution so this is a rare chance to catch the film.
