A one-off ‘Draw to Film’ event for anyone who wants to explore drawing, mark-making, music and film in new ways. Suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to artists, this special event will be a sensory entry point into the world of film, with a special projection of newly scanned, unseen film footage and camera tests from director Sergei Parajanov’s masterpiece The Colour of Pomegranates (1969), inspired by the life and work of 18th-century Armenian poet Sayat-Nova. 

This event, led by experienced artist-facilitator Jane Fordham, will be an opportunity to view and respond to this unique film material. You will be drawing in the dark and will be encouraged to capture not what is necessarily there but your sense of what you see.

All materials including paper, pencils and charcoal are included in the ticket price, but feel free to bring any tools or materials you prefer to use. Participants will be invited to choose a setting which best suits them including easels, tables, board or the floor. Arrive early to secure a favoured setting.
