A screening of the film followed by discussion with director Eilidh Munro and composer Adrian Leung.

For as long as people in Eyemouth, a small Scottish fishing town, can remember, boys became men who catch fish and a young girl is crowned as a queen. Now, there’s no fish left to catch but year after year, a new 14 year old Herring Queen still takes her crown.

Through the observational lens of a fishing festival, we feel the impacts of a global climate crisis, how it affects livelihoods, community and mental health.

Experience the Sex Pistols’ rise to global infamy with an honest, insightful account of a group of malcontents, determined to change the music business and to attack hypocrisy and stale conventions in society at large.

Based off the novel written by Glen Matlock, one of the founding members of the Sex Pistols who co-wrote ten of twelve iconic songs on their only studio album, NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS. Glen describes in detail the mindset of the UK in the early 70’s and divulges a mine of information; Steve’s thievery, Wally Nightingale, the search for a singer, the exploding punk scene and a bleak backdrop providing a contrast to the excitement and energy of McLaren’s shop.

In an entirely unique attempt to collaborate with the natural world, it would be an experiment on patience, art and value. Will the tape emerge silent, and does it matter if it does? Recomposing Earth takes you into the mind of an artist and the magic of the Orkney Islands that inspire him, with a story that reminds us of music’s importance as an expression of the human condition.
