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.
Rhythm Disrupts the Archive
Saturday, 19 September, 5–8.45pm // The Peace Church, 46 Church St.
This film screening, programmed by BFMAF with filmmaker and writer Val Phoenix, explores feminist DIY punk in the late 20th century. The films in this programme share experiences and visions of women who created alternative spaces, scenes, zines and took to the stage to challenge conventions of beauty and gender within the punk scene, as well as issuing a challenge to the wider world. Food will be provided, on a first come first serve basis, by Deva’s Sri Lankan Delights at 5pm.
