The Druids – Travels in Deep England

FILM – SPECIAL PREVIEW SCREENING

Edinburgh based Louise Milne’s new documentary takes us on a poetic journey through the magical darklands of deepest England. The film follows a group of modern Druids and their friends over the course of the ritual
year. Shot at Stanton Drew stone circle, and in the wild beauty of King Arthur’s West Country, The Druids explains the appeal of this nature faith, just recently recognised as an official religion in the UK. Milne explores the basic elements of Druidry, its history, major festivals, rituals, myths and legends, while evoking the Druids’ sense of spiritual connection to the land, giving us an understanding of what it is to be Druid in the 21st century.

There will be an audience Q&A with Louise Milne after the screening.
