A YEAR IN THE FIELD

  • Hawkwood Painswick Old Road GL6 7QW (map)

PLUS Q & A
BAFTA-winning documentarian Christopher Morris invites us to slow down, as he films for a year in a West Cornwall field; to immerse ourselves in this quiet, direct-action of stillness to take a breath and reflect on the planetary impacts of our brief human existence, under the watchful gaze of the Longstone, an ancient monolith that predominates this elemental landscape. From Winter Solstice 2020 to Winter Solstice 2021, a string of unprecedented worldwide climate disasters, met by weak global political resolve, are revealed as just fleeting moments, under the ever present unflinching granite gaze of the Longstone. There are no interviews or experts in this film. In fact, there are no human beings at all; instead an unassuming Cornish field near Land’s End takes centre stage, and a crop of spring barley forms the heart of an unfolding, compelling and beautiful narrative. After the screening, there will be a short Q&A with a member of the production team
