We are delighted to be hosting the World Premiere of the first autobiographical short film from Folkestone’s arguably most in-demand filmmaker, Clare Unsworth. (it speaks) is a quiet, meditative film, intimately exploring psychosis, connection and communion with chaos, the universe and the minutiae of everything.
Join us for the screening, followed by a conversation and intimate Q&A between Clare, and other members of our festival community.
Since Normal? Festival of the Brain’s inception, Clare has been documenting the festival, and her work locally has grown to encompass the enabling of so many creatives’ visions. Clare’s prolific output most recently includes Folkestone Book Festival 2020’s ‘Folkestone Reads: Modern Nature’ and ‘a:dress’ made with Leah Thorn.
After her work supporting other creatives, we’re excited to showcase Clare’s solo creative vision.
Normal? Festival of the Brain is co-curated by Living Words, Creative Folkestone & Folkestone Fringe. Living Words is an arts & literature charity organisation working with those with a dementia as well as those from isolated backgrounds. Creative Folkestone, is an arts charity dedicated to transforming Folkestone through collective creative activity. We do these festivals to enrich the cultural calendar of our town, bring people together, and connect Folkestone with the wider world. Each year, the Normal? programme and themes are always produced through think-ins, in which anyone is invited to share ideas of what interests them, and what they would like to see happen together.
