The Land Remains (12A) + Director intro and discussion
All tickets £5
There will be a Q&A panel discussion around the film’s themes with the Director and special guests speakers in the cinema after the film, followed by a short networking session at the bar.
Dir. Boris Thompson-Roylance, UK, 2025, 32 mins.
The Land Remains places Britain’s renewed interest in folklore and ritual in dialogue with the Bibby Stockholm asylum barge, exploring how land, migration, and belonging shape national identity today. Over two years, the director used film and photography as a practice of deep listening to the British landscape. This work emerged from a growing need to question national identity within a land marked by ritual, mythology, and invasion.
The Land Remains explores how these two realities of folklore and the growing rise of nationalism co-exist within a divided nation, both yearning to reconnect to England's past, in order to make sense of its complicated present.
