Next Thursday 19th March, we’ll be screening Rosa Prosser’s WHEN THE CROWS WALK HOME- an embodied investigation into Britain’s only named wind – The Helm. We’ll follow up with a talk/ discussion with the filmmaker.

A walk through the fellside – the viewer is taken on a journey with (and by) the wind, moving through seasons and stories as the wind becomes as wind(ow) to the place.

Rosa Prosser is a Cumbrian artist, filmmaker, and researcher pursuing a PhD in Film and Visual Studies at Harvard University. Her creative and research practice explores the entanglements of place, weather, history and story through an elemental lens – in particular, that of the wind.

Her film and installation work has been shown internationally, including the RAI Film Festival, Beijing International Short Film Festival, Jakarta International Documentary Experimental Film Festival, and Athens Digital Arts Festival.

Rosa will be joining us remotely for this screening and discussion, however we will broadcast the session at the pub as usual, so join us in person for soup! Tickets available through our website

If you can’t make it and you’re watching online- a zoom link will be sent to your email prior to the event, just choose the online ticket option when you’re checking out.

Please arrive (or join the meeting) for a 6:30pm start, earlier if you’d like soup!
