See a series of six short films by creative force Jessie Growden.
Jessie's work explores place, landscape and personal experiences through playful and also structural approaches to recording and presenting images.
Focusing on objects, both the sentimental and the throwaway, and the history and lives of things and places, Jessie looks to create work both autobiographical and performative.
This screening comes a day after the Jack McNeill Chamber Cairn concert - a record inspired by the Cumbrian environment. Both events concern nature and landscape.
Selected films (Total duration 1 hour) + Q and A of 40 minutes max.
