Motherboard (15)

Motherboard is a 20-year documentary by BAFTA winner Victoria Mapplebeck, capturing the raw, funny, and moving realities of raising her son, Jim, alone. Filmed from pregnancy to his young adulthood, it offers an unfiltered portrait of solo parenting, resilience and the unshakable bond between mother and son.

Post screen discussion on the challenge of filming your own family, with Nina Pope, leading to our ‘Filming a Family’ workshop on Sunday at 3:30, Tiree Makery.

Most of us ‘film’ with our families but how many of us choose to turn what we capture into a film?

What does it take to make this step and move from capturing family moments to crafting something to share with the wider world?

Join artist/film maker, Nina Pope, following the screening of Motherboard to think about these questions, share responses to the film and maybe take on the challenge to create a short sketch or scene for sharing at a follow up workshop on Sunday.
