New Geevor Mine Film on Vimeo

Last year I spent a few days at Geevor Tin Mine filming their Museum there and getting to know a little bit about what they do. They have some interesting 'as it was left' displays and some fascinating stories to tell about what is a very local and community based mine and heritage centre.

I filmed a short film while I was there and edited it a while ago. It's now on Vimeo and available to watch by following this link:

It's not the most polished footage, but I have aimed to encapsulate a feeling at Geevor within the editing. If you like it - tell your friends!

Cheers for now

The surprise announcement came as hype for the festival builds and the appeal of small scale local based art ventures increases.

Scorsese will take a break from editing his first 3d film to curate the festival, and he is currently deliberating over a number of vintage classics which match the epic proportions and beauty of the landscape.
