Our next #CookForUkraine is a week on Saturday, and we can’t wait to see you there!
It’s a great joy to be able to share Tereza Buskova’s ‘Little Queens’ as part of our film programme; documenting a creative reimagining of ancient folklore tradition, which celebrates nature and the role of women within their communities
With thanks to @tereza.buskova for allowing us to screen the film, and everyone involved in the production of this incredible project

I am really pleased that Little Queens 👸 video, 2022 will be screened at the next @cee_notts event as part of refugee week👏 open to all!
“Little Queens project reimagined an ancient Moravian ritual connecting rural neighbourhoods to nature and celebrated the role of women, young and old, within their communities. This project gives voice to female refugees and other expatriates who wish to express their identities within the intricate cultural context of their adopted home in the UK.”

Lorna Nickson Brown’s award-winning short film, DOG RUN, is now streaming on Apple TV!
So honoured to have been the Mōvi gimbal operator on such a powerful and meaningful film. (BTS photo: Daniel Harry)
DOG RUN tells the story of a homeless migrant caught in the grip of modern slavery.
Salvation comes through his growing connection with another captive being - the guard dog at the site where he is held.
It’s a hard hitting yet tender film which explores the symbiosis between humankind, animal species, and the shared natural environment.
A must-watch for all who have ever cared for an animal and appreciated the beauty of nature.
Please spread the word about this film to help raise awareness of modern slavery.

A week on from the closing of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Still buzzing from seeing my camera work on the ‘Movement Inspired’ films shown @electricbham and on the big screens at Victoria Square and Smithfield festival sites. Gymnastics and Jazz fusion directed by @iconicproductionsuk

30 years ago today, March 26th 1988, I sadly lost my mum to lupus. She was 37 years old.
For the 8 years she was in my life I was fortunate to have the love of an incredible mother. She was adored by everyone, especially for her musical talents and beautiful singing voice.
She sang with numerous bands, including an Irish folk group called Inchiquin. On the day of her funeral a cassette tape was given to some of those in attendance.
Here is a short excerpt from one of the treasured songs from that tape, originally recorded in 1977.
Cathy Keenan sings ‘She Moves Through The Fair’.
