Abi Palmer: Slime Mother

Overview
The final screening of the season will be Abi Palmer’s Slime Mother. The film combines spoken word with languorous panning shots of slugs sliding, twisting and suspending from branches. A narrator’s voice guides us through a ‘slug-god world’, recounting memories of a childhood spent hating slugs, pouring salt and flicking them away, to a new perspective of worship, love and coexistence. Palmer’s words, combined with beautifully composed film work, transforms the slug from a hated body into the divine.
Tue 4-Sun 16 Mar, 11am-5pm. Free entry.
