Expressing the Earth Film Screening (Part of the 2026 Geopoetics Gathering)

Along rugged coastlines, through ancient forests, and into the geological bedrock of Scotland’s wild places, Expressing the Earth embarks on a cinematic journey into Geopoetics – the philosophy developed by the late Scottish poet-thinker Kenneth White, which seeks a deeper connection between mind, language, and the living world.

This powerful debut feature by Glenda Rome is a meditation on perception and belonging – guided by White’s poetry and thought, yet grounded in the Earth itself. Through immersive cinematography and the voices of artists, geologists, and thinkers influenced by his work, the film explores where landscape and mindscape meet, revealing a space where geology, art, and inner reflection converge.

Followed by Q&A and a conversation with Glenda Rome (film-maker), Claire Pençak (dance artist) and Norman Bissell (producer).
