'By Leaves We Live'
Outdoor Film Screening
Friday 17th December
4:30pm - 6pm (3mins playing on a loop)
Gorbals Piazza on Crown Street
Join #CultureCollective Gorbals for a special outdoor screening of the short film 'By Leaves We Live', directed by Lead Artist Basharat Khan and made in collaboration with Support Artist Stella Rooney and local children at St Francis St Francis and Blackfriars Primary Schools. The short film draws on a COP26 theme, asking people to explore through film how climate change is affecting us as individuals, our surroundings, families and communities.
The film was recently awarded 'Best Environmental Message' by Film Access Scotland as part of their Climate Challenge: 1.5 Degrees Films at Glasgow Film Theatre. The judges said they 'liked the environmental message and collaborative approach applied to the film’.
The film runs for 3mins and will be played on a loop until 6pm. Please note this is an outdoor screening so please wear warm clothing as weather may be changeable.
This event is planned with COVID safety at the forefront of our minds. We aim to create safe, creative experiences that allow people to celebrate local talent within their community. We encourage people to come and watch the 3min screening, limiting the amount of time they stay, so we avoid any crowds and please respect the 2m social distance guidance from other households. IF Scottish Government COVID Guidelines change to prevent outdoor gatherings we will review the plans, please check this event page or social media for any updates on the day:
