Little Things Rule the World is a collaborative project between geographer Merle Patchett (UoB), literary scholar, Rachel Murray (Loughborough University) and artist, Vicky Smith (Bristol Experimental & Expanded Film: BEEF). It is supported by The Brigstow Insitute, University of Bristol.

Smith’s 16mm film Not (a) Part (2019) will be premièred with a live soundtrack by members of BEEF: Melanie Clifford, Kathy Hinde, Howard Jacques and Shirley Pegna along with The Making of Not (a) Part by Murray, Patchett and Smith (2019).

There will also be a screening of several animation films that work broadly with the subject and/or material of flying insects. The screening will be followed by a discussion between Murray, Patchett and Smith.
