In collaboration with the Berwick Food and Beer Festival, The Burr of Berwick will host a film screening of Wild Relatives directed by Jumana Manna followed by a discussion at The Straw Yard. The event features a community film screening in a relaxed cinema setting, followed by an informal discussion co-hosted by Sustainable Food Berwick.

Come and enjoy a film & conversation together in the new Straw Yard Theatre during the Food & Beer Festival!

The 2018 film Wild Relatives by Jumana Manna explores simple seeds – how they illuminate biodiversity and international politics from Lebanon to Svalbard. This original film brings perspectives on sustainable food that reach far beyond the future of humanity.

O’ Pierrot

O’ Pierrot treads the stock, pantomime narra- tive of Pierrot the Clown, told this time from a lesbian, mixed-race, British perspective. The quest for British identity, so often played out in too-real grey-scale is here translated in glowing colour via 8mm stock.

Commissioned by The New Flesh as part of the 2019 residency programme, using public funding from Arts Council England
