This informal Make & Meet workshop is part of the latest Burr of Berwick Film Library Jabberwocky: The Internet and Creative Freedom. The Film Library includes an interactive exhibition of games and opportunities to follow online rabbit-holes, alongside workshops that will help you reclaim the internet as a creative space for self-expression.

The Burr of Berwick Film Library is a community video archive and exhibition series. Open and evolving, the Burr Film Library offers a shared space for screenings, discussions, and creativity.

Based at 22 Bridge Street, the Film Library is open Saturdays 12 – 4pm. The Library also travels to present pop-up events at spaces and occasions around town.

With the potential to speak to personal memories and experiences, the films reflect and respond to real-world topics. Everyone is invited to pop in for a cuppa and share ideas and stories, or delve into the Library’s themes through events and workshops.
