An event in the village
An event in the village
2010, English. Directed by Jordan Baseman.
An event in the village 2010, features amateur filmmaker Frank Rigby. Frank shot footage of the Bickershaw festival in 1972. This footage serves as the visual foundations for the film, An event in the village. We see Frank’s original footage as we hear him describing the recording of the event 35 years after it happened. The Bickershaw festival was the last 3 day festival in the north west of England. The Kinks, Captain Beefheart and the Grateful Dead all played during the weekend. This work investigates memory and documentary - the gaps between event, actuality, recording and memory. Frank speaks with great fondness about his village and its takeover by Hippies over a long weekend in May 1972.
