About this Event
Join us for an evening of local short films – celebrating voices of resistance, local activism, and community spirit.
Thursday, 16 October at 5pm - 7pm
PART 3 of our LOCAL RESISTANCE FILM PROGRAMME.
Join us for food, and the feature documentary film Tish, followed by Q & A with the director Paul Sng and local photographer Craig Maclean.
In the third of four special events, we celebrate working class photographer Tish Murtha and her incredible ground breaking work. Tish Murtha used her camera to celebrate overlooked working-class lives and to fight for social change in 1980s Britain. Her daughter, Ella, uncovers her poignant story.
