This month at Real to Reel Cinema we are sharing a beautiful film created by filmmaker Beatrix A. Wood, following the story of Maggy Stead as she battles to secure the future of The Steading, a work of art sculpted from wood by her late husband Tim.
After the screening, we will be joined by Beatrix for a discussion about the making of the film.
About the Film
The film weaves the remarkable stories of the passionate people who worked with Tim to explore how Tim evolved as an innovative furniture designer and wood sculptor and his role in the creation of some of Scotland’s most popular public art. Tim’s belief to put back into the environment more than he took out led to pioneering the creation of the first community woodland n Britain which kickstarted the community land ownership movement in Scotland and internationally.
A deeply moving human interest story about a family, the bonds of love and grief, loyalty and friendship, collaboration, and community alongside our relationship with trees and Nature as a catalyst for our creativity and well-being in the face of climate change.
