Fri 17 October 2008 // 19:30
(Fri 17th / 8pm / £6/5)
The Cube Cinema is proud to host the launch of an independent Bristol made film. Shot in a frantic week in September 2007, and only recently finished The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (on bicycle) is a travelogue that cycles in the footsteps of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge whilst also somehow being lost at sea with The Ancient Mariner. Armed with a copy of the poem four intrepid Artists travel from Nether Stowey to Bristol. Along the way they drew as many people as they could into The Mariner's plight. The team worked with a primary school, a school for people with learning difficulties, several community groups, two homes for elderly people and a pub. The film knits together The Mariner's tale with drama, reminiscence, writing & animation, to make a psychedelic yet perfect mix between entertainment, community outreach and human interest.
Directed by Tom Stubbs, co-directed by Jay Kerry, Jon Nicholas and Joff Winterhart. Produced by Wolf + Water. Running time 50 minutes.
Preceded by 2 short films: Shape UP! by Biggerhouse Film + Video and
Light and Dark by Michael Smith and Tom Stubbs
Afterwards, live music by local Bristol bands My Two Toms and Bucky.
