Come Wander with us...

as we go on a journey to the surreal and fantastical with a screening of Christiane Cegavske's 'Blood Tea and Red String' with a live score by folk musician Rosie Brownhill. Before the film we will have a film shorts.

Blood Tea and Red String a surreal handmade stop-motion fairy tale for adults created and animated entirely by director Christiane Cegavske over a period of 13 years. It tells the story of aristocratic white mice who commission gentle oak dwelling artisans to create a doll for them. When the Oak Dwellers fall in love with the doll they refuse to give her up. Resorting to thievery, the jilted mice abscond with her in the middle of the night. The Oak Dwellers must journey through their mystical and dangerous land to reclaim their love.

The film is dialogue-free, which has enabled it to reach audiences worldwide and allows viewers to find their own interpretations of the story. This special screening will include a live musical accompaniment by Rosie Brownhill, playing a mixture of instruments including penny whistles, finger style guitar, and chord organ.
