About this event
An evening presentation of recent moving image work by artists based in the South West – Samuel Bestwick, Georgia Gendall and Jo Lathwood. The films run for a total of 45 minutes and will be introduced by the artists. Each work focuses on a place in Cornwall or Devon and examines human relationships with nature and the effects of large scale industry.
Georgia Gendall’s film Why did the Scarecrow win an Award? (13 mins, 2024) explores the farm as a theatrical space where the relationship between local ecosystems and global food production, queer rurality and land access plays out through the eyes of the protagonists – a scarecrow and a crop of wheat.
Jo Lathwood’s film The Belief in Things Disappearing (17 mins, 2023) weaves together sleight of hand magic tricks, a visit to an energy from waste plant, research into chemical experiments, alchemical symbols, forgotten magicians and stories of old and new artworks.
Samuel Bestwick’s film Dowr Tamar / Great Water (15 mins, 2023) follows the evolution of the Tamar River’s landscape through time, cataloguing humanity’s technological development, commercial expansion and environmental exploitation through the changing character of the 22 bridges that cross the river.
