Tim Stead: Magician With Wood

"The whole inside story of a man, a tree, a wood and a sculpted home."

The legacy and masterpieces of late wood sculptor Tim Stead are under threat. His extraordinary home, The Steading, is a Grade A-listed work of art in Scotland - a lifelong project of organic form, skill and love that he carved from wood. However, it is an uphill battle for Maggy Stead and her friends to save Tim's lifeworks for future generations to be inspired by. Tim Stead started the first UK community woodland back in 1987, was a passionate educator, brought mesmerising shapes out of wood into furniture, art installations and interiors, and wrote poetry. Yet, few have heard of this trailblazer - will The Steading be preserved, or left to be forgotten?

Cameraperson

As a visually radical memoir, CAMERAPERSON draws on the remarkable footage that filmmaker Kirsten Johnson has shot and reframes it in ways that illuminate moments and situations that have personally affected her. What emerges is an elegant meditation on the relationship between truth and the camera frame, as Johnson transforms scenes that have been presented on Festival screens as one kind of truth into another kind of story—one about personal journey, craft, and direct human connection.
