About this Event

A screening of Something That Was Ours showing intimate and personal moments from the lives of three women in midlife, documenting their different yet everyday paths as witches. An emotive impression of rarely seen ceremonies and spells, the film explores ageing, recovery from trauma, connection with nature, and the nature of magic.

Artist and wellbeing expert, Polly Anna Steiner, leads a Q&A with director and documentary filmmaker Rosie Reed Hillman.
