SheWolf: No Place Like (Flat) Holm
25 minutes | The film screens on the hour and half hour from 9:30am to 3pm
Lying in the Bristol Channel, just 3km off Lavernock Point (South Wales), is Flat Holm - Cardiff's own mystery island. Its shorelines are studded with secret caves, and its landscape hides stories of survival against all odds. It is a microcosm of Wales’ history. The buildings, remnants of military defenses and a former cholera isolation hospital, echo stories of loss, isolation and grief; a nation defending itself against invasion.
Now operating as a tourist attraction, bird sanctuary and Site of Special Scientific Interest it defends itself against the threat of climate change. Living off-grid and enduring the turn of the seasons across one year, join us as we follow the story of one woman whose experience of chronic pain ignites a love affair with the island. Isolated and yearning to be heard this is an intimate duet that gives voice to the invisible pain of body and earth.
Free entry. Estimated capacity for each screening is 20 people. You may need to wait for the next screening if the capacity is reached.
First showing at 9:30am, last at 3pm - Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th April
