Green Screen: A Year in a Field + Recorded Q&A

Join us for a special Green Screen edition of Discover to mark World Soil Day. The screening will be followed by a pre-recorded Q&A with director Christopher Morris.

This screening at the Regal will instead feature a live expert panel following the screening, with Greener Henley's Sara Kandiah, Sally Rankin from Greener Henley Wildlife Group and garden writer, historian, and photographer Liz Ware of www.silentspace.org.uk.

From Winter Solstice 2020 to Winter Solstice 2021, a string of unprecedented worldwide climate disasters, met by weak global political resolve, are revealed as fleeting moments under the ever-present, unflinching granite gaze of the Longstone: an ancient monolith that has stood sentinel in a Cornish field for millennia.

Part provocation, part meditation, part invocation, BAFTA-winning documentarian Christopher Morris’ A Year In A Field invites us to slow down as he films for twelve months in the Longstone's field. As the wheel of the year turns, Morris’ 'eco-sophical' polemic unearths a mythic reality buried just below the soil of our consumerist age, suggesting, perhaps, that whilst time may feel like it’s running away at an ever-increasing rate, it’s not too late to pause, reflect, and change.
