Losing The Plot is reawakening! Friday 17-Sunday 19 June 2022, the Star and Shadow's film retreat beckons you to the North Pennines for communal film (watching, eating and camping together).

The programme is nearing completion balancing recently released features, experimental documentaries and artist film from across the planet. The purpose of LTP is to create optimum viewing conditions for watching and engaging with contemporary film where plot is less clear-cut. The films are selected by the Ignorant Curator un-previewed, so everyone could be watching them for the first time, expanding the likelihood of a genuinely shared experience of cinema.

It is family friendly, and inclusive. If you have particular access requirements that you would like to discuss please email info@starandshadow.org.uk.

Tickets are as cheap as they can be, and cover all accommodation, meals and 8 films over the weekend. Please pay the solidarity upgrade if you feel you can afford more :)
