A event on Saturday 25th May. The event starts at 08:00.
A series of three films created over a year by artist Esther May Campbell and young people from the Bristol-based Kitchen Table Photo club.
In the woods Esther told stories of human, spirit and animal-kin. The kids played make-believe and tied camera traps to trees and rocks and waited like Foxes, watching with Eagle Eyes and listening with Deer Ears. They recorded sounds of wind and trees and laughter. After a year, Esther collaged their findings into 3 audio visual pieces that shatter the boundaries between worlds.
‘Anything Moving is so good, so un-bossy in its artistry, so moving as portraits of children (and therefore portraits of all of us). Really I can’t think of any other account of childhood that doesn’t feel patronising by comparison. What it offers is profound, abundant and not quite graspable. I love it’. Alice Oswald, poet / gardener
Join us in person on Sun 26 May for an intimate guided trail in Nightingale Woods - St Anne’s, where the films will be projected on the trail, accompanied by music and sound recordings. Book your tickets: https://hdfst.uk/e106293

Work includes a set of art/photo prompts called 'Bewilderment Cards', a photo-book made at St Paul's Adventure Playground 'Scrapbook' and the exhibition and book Water Salad on Monday documenting Elm Tree Farm, as well as BAFTA winning September and Venice Critic's Light Years.
