Mare is an abstract take on climate change, embracing and discovering
movement through camera, commissioned by Northumberland County
Council in partnership with Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, The
Maltings Theatre & Cinema, and funded by Arts Council England.
Facts
Northumberland has the largest length of coastline in the region at 131
km and has a high intrinsic tourism and nature conservation value, due
to its highly undeveloped and rural nature. It extends from Lamberton
to Seaton Sluice with much of the coastline undefended, giving it a
special natural value that is reflected in international, national, regional
and local nature conservation designations.
According to Sustaine’s North East Climate Change Action Plan, climate
change will have a huge impact on the Northumberland Coast by 2050.
The overall aims of the collaboration
- Raise knowledge and awareness of climate change through the arts
within Northumberland
- Look at the impact of climate change on our local environment
- Involve and inspire young people in contemporary dance and film
making through the theme of climate change

to Berwick!" Anna Skelly, Berwick
"It has made me more aware of how the local area will be different in
the future and has made me feel like I want to do something to stop us
losing our glorious coastline" says Lucinda Lawrie, Berwick
