New Commission Opens / Endless Love Tapes Closes

Opening Drinks: Vertical Screen Commission I’ve been trying to reach you 

Last Chance: Endless Love Tapes

4.30 – 6.00pm, 19 July 2025

The Burr of Berwick

22 Bridge Street, Berwick-upon-Tweed, TD15 1AQ

 

Come and see our first Vertical Screen Commission I’ve been trying to reach you (UK, 2025) by Anna Chapman Parker and Lindsay Mann.

This new moving image work, presented in the pervasive smartphone aspect ratio, asks what it means to observe the street within the glassy space of a messaging app. In a context of fleeting and fragmentary attention, the film invites an intimate cinematic encounter conducted through reflected glances and pinged texts. A hybrid text exchange sampled from AI-generated image descriptions, performance scripts and Virginia Woolf’s Orlando plays with the poetics of passing by, offering moments that slip between reflection and interruption, dialogue and disconnect. Drop by and see the Commission through the venue window until 30 August 2025.

Saturday 19 July will also be your last chance to catch Endless Love Tapes by Wendy Clarke and Kim Coleman. This incredible collection of over 2,500 three-minute videos of people discussing what love means to them now features contributions recorded at the 20th Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, 27 – 30 March 2025. Join us to see an extended cut of 2025’s Love Tapes filmed in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
