Community Centre, North Berwick

This activity is open to the public. Please register in advance.

Absent Friends Week is a national festival of storytelling and remembrance - a space to remember those who are no longer with us and share the stories that keep them present in our lives. This year, Coastal Community Connections explores Legacy Burdens – the expectations, beliefs and behaviours around grief that we inherit from our families, communities and wider culture. These can shape how we think grief should look, what we feel able to express and what we learn to keep hidden. 

An inspiring, beautiful, poetic documentary that travels the UK landscapes and communities to explore connections amongst its people’s, arts, sciences and the natural living world.Lost words for a living world, lost words for dying: one culture of avoidance,
two unfolding inextricably-connected aspects that call for our attention. Join us for a post screening conversation.
