Filmmaker talk at Newton Park
T H E E D G E O F D R E A M I N G. A Documentary by Amy Hardie
A woman dreams her horse is dying. She wakes to find him dead. Then she dreams this year will be her last.
Filmmaker Amy Hardie is visiting Newton Park on Thursday 18th November. She will be talking about her recent documentary ‘The edge of dreaming’ in advance of it’s screening in the evenings as part of the Bath Film Festival. Please come to hear her talk in SNG01 from 2 – 4pm.
Here’s what the film festival has to say about the film.
Scottish Filmmaker Amy Hardie's The Edge of Dreaming explores life and death in the context of a warm and loving family, whose happiness is increasingly threatened by a dream. The film's structure weaves documentary and experimental practice. The result is breathtakingly beautiful. It is the story of a rational, pragmatic woman, who does not remember her dreams. Except once, when she dreams her horse is dying and wakes immediately to discover her horse is in fact dead. The next dream brings a message from her long-deceased former partner, who tells her she will die herself. When Amy falls seriously ill, she goes on a search to change her dream, a deeply personal journey that leads her to an eminent neuroscientist and a shaman.

IlluminateBath information
IlluminateBath is a new festival that will run for two weeks from 1 - 13 November 2010. BSU students and staff are organising IlluminateBath and the festival will also feature their creative work. It’s being funded by RELAYS, which is a Cultural Olympiad project to engage young people with sport and culture in the run up to London 2012.
This is your chance to participate by proposing ideas. Possible work will be:
Dance, sculpture, film, music, animation, stories, poetry, projections, clothing, installations, plays, location based games, 3D design, interventions, shows (of specific work), mass participation events, VJing, painting, printing.
The brief is to create a response to the festival’s theme of Kinetic Energy and Light. We will be projecting on buildings in a variety of locations throughout Bath (when given permission) and we also intend to show installation/ intervention work in shop windows and outdoor locations. A range of events are being planned including talks, guided tours and workshops. We are organising locations for performances to take place (e.g. Green Park Station, Southgate shopping centre). The festival is a chance to get your work shown to a mass audience!
