We’re delighted to welcome back Pip Heywood for a double bill event in two halves, part of the 2024 Stroud Film Festival.
In the Frame: Film as Painting - Pip Heywood
Since last year’s festival screening, Pip has continued to make landscape films, at times meditative and still, at other times active and dramatic. He is exploring the painterly qualities of film, particularly the abstract. Introduced by Pip and followed by a Q&A.
“They are so fresh – completely apart from the grammars of conventional filmmaking, they have something spacious and abundant for us to come back to again and again.”
Bittersweet: A Wabi-sabi Outlook – Scott Anthony
A Japanese aesthetic that considers and accepts the transient nature of all things, with change as the only constant. Thus nothing can ever be finished or complete and nothing can be perfect or permanent. So bounded, Wabi-Sabi finds serene beauty, if bittersweet, in the natural passage of time. Poetry, haiku, imagery and photofilms that reflect nature’s influence on mind and sensibility. Introduced by Pip and followed by Q&A with Scott.
Cost: £8 / £6 / £4
