Join us for our next film night at The CORE. Hearty veggie stew available to buy before/after screening (approx 80mins long).
We're delighted to be showing a locally produced and internationally acclaimed film: A Year In A Field. A quiet film, perfect for a contemplatative February evening in The Core. We are especially lucky that Chris will be joining us for this screening, and happy to answer any questions afterwards.
Tickets £6 from TicketTailor (see link).
Here's more about this special film:
BAFTA-winning documentarian Christopher Morris invites us to slow down, as he films for a year in a West Cornwall field; to immerse ourselves in this quiet, direct-action of stillness, to take a breath and reflect on the planetary impacts of our brief human existence, under the watchful gaze of the Longstone, a 4,000-year-old standing stone that predominates this elemental landscape.
From Winter Solstice 2020 to Winter Solstice 2021, a string of unprecedented worldwide climate disasters, met by weak global political resolve, are revealed as just fleeting moments, under the ever-present unflinching granite gaze of the Longstone.
As the wheel of the year turns, Morris’s ecosophical polemic unearths a mythic reality buried just below the furrowed soil of our consumerist age, suggesting, perhaps, that whilst time may feel like it’s running away at an ever-increasing rate, it’s not too late to pause, reflect, and change.
A Year In A Field premiered at Sheffield documentary Festival in 2023. After a UK cinema release, it screened in film festivals across Europe, and more recently in Brazil, America and South Korea.
It won the Grand Jury Prize at the Blue Planet festival in South Korea and at the InScience festival in the Netherlands, where the Jury described the film as “...a silent cry about the climate crisis and a penetrating meditation on what life is. A film full of ideas that resonate deeply, told as a penetrating dream that shakes you awake.“
