PAST EVENT: This was part of the EAF25 programme.

As part of the film who will be remembered here, audiences joined the artists behind the project for an in-conversation exploring what it means to reimagine storytelling in new, expansive forms, and reclaim history for yourself.

Film creators, playwright Lewis Hetherington and visual artist CJ Mahony, spoke in conversation with Bea Webster, a deaf, queer Scottish-Thai actor, writer and theatre-maker, and one of four artists who contributed a performance to the film. 

The panel shared moments of reflection and of reclamation, responding to Webster’s work on the ancient site of Machrie Moor Standing Stones on the Isle of Arran. Webster’s performance in BSL explored the resonances and dissonances between that historic site and their lived experience, and the event foregrounded the thread of disability justice in the film.

This event was held in partnership with Edinburgh Deaf Festival, and facilitated by Claire Lamont and Klarissa Webster.

As part of the event, audiences viewed the exhibition of behind the scenes images by Tiu Makkonen in the EAF Pavilion Event Space, giving an insight into the film’s creation.
