A Year In A Field12A

Directed by Christopher Morris | UK | 2023 | 1h 26m

Standing proudly in the centre of a field in West Cornwall, the Longstone remains a silent witness to 4,000 years of tumultuous history. Captured between the Winter Solstices of 2020 and 2021, this meditative documentary reflects on the evolving landscape through the lens of an ancient standing stone. Presented as a counterpoint to the flashy, globe-trotting nature documentaries prevalent today, BAFTA-winning filmmaker Christopher Morris contemplates the beauty of life’s minutiae and the trajectory of climate change.

Reviews

‘Not the least of the documentary’s strengths is the realisation that such a world is as sustainable as an unnamed insect, fragility personified, getting its fill on a leaf.’
★★★★
Graham Fuller, The Arts Desk

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
