IMMERSIVE EXPERIMENTAL FILM EVENT
We invite you to Standish Gate house for an immersive film event exploring our relationship with the land.
We are all indigenous to the land and the event will explore how film, as a relational tool, can reconnect us to the land, and open up pathways into an imagination within and beyond us...
Grierson award-winning, Bafta-nominated and Sundance Institute filmmaker Elizabeth Stopford has spent the last decade developing a unique methodology that pivots on her relationship with the land.
She believes that by anchoring in community and place, and deep-listening to the land, we can unlock our embodied imagination and emancipate ourselves from colonial patterns of “looking away”.
How can we creatively transform systemic and repeating patterns of trauma and disconnection in our communities? “Imagination liberates” is the ethos behind this gathering.
Elizabeth will be in conversation with Eco-systemic author and psychotherapist Roger Duncan, also local to Stroud.
The event will weave together film clips, insights into Elizabeth's filmmaking process, and experiential activities on the Standish land itself. We will end with shared soup from Standish land.
