The Tre Project
Tre – a Cornish word for ‘Home/Homestead’.
Using archive film as its inspiration and ‘home’ as its theme, the Tre Project collects old cine footage, creates digital content and produces a programme of new films to screen in community venues across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in 2011.
We will be making films with communities from all over Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly; stories of old and new Kernow.
What does ‘home’ mean to people living in the most westerly part of Britain? How does archive film inform and inspire our future?
Films
The Tre Project film programme will include:
- A documentary feature
- short films made with communities across Cornwall & IOS
- short films made by West Cornwall students
- archive films
Events
We will be coming to village events across the area with archive film material, which will stimulate interest, debate and signpost to where those stories are which need to be re-discovered and captured for future generations.
Inform and invite us to local events where we can do film presentations
We want our Cornish community to get involved:
- Follow our story via http://thetreproject.wordpress.com where you can subscribe to receive notifications of new posts
- Share old films about Cornwall and Isles of Scilly with us
- If you don’t have any footage but do have a unique story of Cornwall to share we can try to find existing footage from archive sources so community films can be made.
The Tre Project is devised and produced by awen productions.
