A relaxed afternoon screening featuring surf films from Scotland and afar.

We will also screen the final film Collecting Light created by participants in our ‘The Living Camera’ project and will have a final closing discussion with artists Jess Holdengrade and Chloe Charlton. Film details below…

Collecting Light documents the first workshops with The Living Camera project which took place at Lyth Arts Centre with its youth community in 2025. Shot on 16mm, the film follows a collaborative analogue workshop centred around the site-specific camera obscura, which transforms into a darkroom and gathering space. Participants are seen constructing pinhole cameras, foraging local plants and inhabiting the obscura. The film documents how collective and regenerative image-making can support new ways of seeing, living, and learning – offering creative tools for the challenges of our time.

Collecting Light was developed with the same eco-chemistry that was collectively brewed during the workshop – embedding place, process, and shared making into its images.
