Beginning

Difference Screen reflects on the world very much above ground – artists responses to social upheaval in landscapes, places and people – so starting underground may seem an oddity. But the possibility of screening artists’ film in the extraordinary red-yellow caverns of Clearwell Caves on 5 and 6 July was not one to be missed. The caves are actually disused, ancient iron ore mines, dating back 4,500 years – now open to the public. The walk deep into the earth in these meandering rocky spaces will create a powerful, experiential context for the films. Inge Lise Hansen’s Travelling Fields (pictured) seems appropriate, as Difference Screen emerges from underground to continue its journey around the world. – Ben Eastop
