WorkSHOP: Capturing Nature
Running all month

Do you have a sly fox rustling through your bins at night? Are you woken up stupidly early by the dawn chorus? Well this month SHOP is going all interactive and asking you to try and capture these creatures in the act! No, no need to call the R.S.P.C.A. we mean capturing them with your camera, phone or Dictaphone. Then send them to us and we will put them into a show reel and exhibit them at a Fillum Club later this month!

Fillum Nights: Nature
Thursday April 15th
7.30pm – 9.30pm
Into The Wild

Christopher McCandless is a bright, likable, precociously perceptive, young middle-class college graduate, who, tortured by his dysfunctional childhood, is determined to find a simpler, purer and more harmonious life. He gives away all that he has and sets out across North America, his ultimate goal the perfect isolation of the Alaskan wilderness.
