Documenting v. documentary: filmmaking and its possible impacts.

A presentation followed by a screening of ‘Nort Atlantik Drift: A Portrait of Robert Alan Jamieson’ and a Q&A with Susan Kemp, Jane Sillars, and Alan Jameson.

4-7pm, Wednesday 4th November
Old College – Lecture Theatre 183

This event will describe the differences between using film to document impact, and making a documentary film as a key component of a project’s impact. Susan Kemp’s Nort Atlantik Drift, a portrait of the Shetland poet and novelist Alan Jameson, was made as a collaboration with the department of English’s ‘Writing the North’ project. There will be a screening of the film, followed by a discussion of the various uses of film in developing and evidencing impact.

The event is free but ticketed. To book click on the following link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/nort-atlantik-drift-a-portrait-of-robert-alan-jamieson-tickets-19061284816
