Katrina Brown of Broon Coo Films is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and social scientist providing fresh perspectives on land and adventure, specialising in telling lesser known stories from the world of environment, sport and exploration. We will watch two of Katrina’s short films "Should" (7'28 mins) and Riding Through the Dark (16'39 mins) and then talk about them together on zoom. Both films are free to watch on vimeo, please view before our Q&A.
Riding Through the Dark viewing link here (free to watch) (16'39 mins)
Riding Through the Dark aims to shine a light on the heroism of ordinary people and the ordinariness of people who can be perceived as heroic, as they use cycling, especially cycling as part of a group, in the beauty of the Scottish Highlands to get through periods of mental darkness. The film depicts intimate moments with a range of incredibly inspiring women who show how even very different journeys by bike can shape journeys of the mind. It features athletes of the Adventure Syndicate - including Lee Craigie and Emily Chappell - as they do their record-breaking 36-hour North Coast 500 ride, as well as participants of the Velocity Women's Cycle to Health programme.
Riding Through the Dark, has won several awards including the Community Award at Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival 2018 and People's Choice at Fort William Mountain Festival 2018.
