We are pleased to welcome Tyne Valley filmmaker Dave Brewis to the cinema for a special look at his new series, Gatherings.
We will enjoy 2 episodes with insights from Dave and discussion in a post-film Q&A.
Gatherings is a six-part documentary series exploring Britain's most extraordinary folk rituals and seasonal customs – from the inside. With compelling interviews, intense action and the use of unseen archives, we explore how these practices are handed down through time, and we see why they are thriving today. Gatherings is your front row seat for the sights, sounds and intensity of ritual.
Episode 1: THE BURRY MAN
Covered head to toe in sticky burrs the Burry Man walks the streets of South Queensferry as this living tradition unfurls before our eyes.
Episode 2: HORN DANCE
Once a year a small group of locals set out on an extraordinary journey via the lanes and fields and farms around Abbots Bromley. Come witness what is widely regarded as England's oldest living traditional dance.
