Hunros Jorna - Recollections in Atlantic Reverie
Synopsis:
An experimental Cornish language film by Allan Wilson & Mickey Smith.
Across two decades a clan of curious misfits illuminated the frost bitten frontiers of North Atlantic salt.
A pack of strays with a rare eye for heavy water, a halcyon era of exploration & camaraderie in the cold.
From the supernatural alchemy of Kernow to the raw majesty of Eire, Hunros Jorna recalls a lifetime of human hearts bewitched by the endless sea.
Screening with:
Mami Wata Surf - Luck is Alive
Synopsis:
The film tells the story of a young man in Dakar – a surfer who is both an animist and a Muslim. Our protagonist longs to surf, and believes that luck will take him to the ocean. He becomes obsessed with dice, the symbol of the luck that will take him there. And indeed, by its force, he makes his way to the sea.
The surfer plunges into the water, is captured (or rescued) with Mami Wata, the spirit of the ocean, and is transformed. He emerges as a surfer, twice transfigured by the spirit of luck and of the ocean itself.
