Thank you to Edwin Thompson for allowing us the use of their spaces for exhibition venues.
The Burr is a new social space, screening library and discussion series named after the local Northumbrian language. Each day we’ll gather to collectively explore different topics with film and with guests. Come along for a giff-gaff!
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?
Run Time
Artist Debbie Bower (Foundation Press) hosts a drop-in workshop from 12:00 – 17:00 that asks us to envision a new film, and create a poster for it in response to the issues that are important to us.
