Wild Water plus Glitter and Storm

EXTRA DATE ADDED DUE TO HIGH DEMAND!
Join us on Friday 10 May, 7.30pm.

Wild Water is a dive into the cold water swimming community at Gaddings Dam, home of England's highest beach.

"Gentle and rather lovely...made with real affection and enthusiasm" - The Guardian 

Before the feature presentation, we will also screen the captivating short film Glitter and Storm by Rebecca E Marshall, filmed on Hastings beaches and featuring our very own home-grown wild swimming community. Water, sunlight, breathing and skin – this is a submersion into the joy of sea swimming by night and by day.

This film is F-Rated. The F-Rating is applied to all films which are directed by women and/or written by women. Find out more about F-Rating.

“With what magic of witness Rebecca E Marshall has captured the marine process of reverse evolution: how citizens of Hastings long to become one with their neighbour ocean; how they twirl and twist in eroticised tumbles, feeling for gills, stroking salt-smoothed dolphin skins. This film is a delight, a drench, a dream: as reviving as the thing it depicts, the elective rinse in the English Channel.” - Iain Sinclair, British writer and filmmaker
