Morning Meeting: Hyem/Home

Run Time

60 mins

Still from Malqueridas (Tana Gilbert, 2023), screening in the New Cinema Awards.

Morning Meeting: Hyem/Home

An open, drop-in conversation inviting responses to the Festival’s programme of films in relation to the complications of home – or hyem in Northumbrian dialect.

When even the most basic understanding of home as residence/shelter is not guaranteed, we open up this theme to an expansive conversation that asks: who has the right to a home? What underlies the commonplace idea of a home? Where does land figure in our perceptions of home?
