‘Right of Way’ - Film Night at Wombourne Library

We’re told we all have a right to roam in the countryside – but does that apply to everyone equally?

Right of Way is a new 90 minute feature-length programme that mixes stunning new artists’ commissions with historical archive films that give a bigger picture of questions of access and inclusion in the UK countryside. This programme is presented by the ICO and LUX and supported by the BFI Film Audience Network and Arts Council England.

It’s inspired by the foundation of the National Trails. Set up to resist sweeping industrialisation, these protected landscapes were created with a vision to ‘connect people to the rural landscape’. But during the COVID-19 pandemic – as people realised anew the importance of nature and open spaces for our health and mental wellbeing – inequalities of access to rural land were being exposed, revealing the disconnect felt by millions of people towards the UK countryside.

The film contains short movies, some rated U, others rated 12A. Some scenes contain sequences with flashing lights, which may be unsuitable for viewers with photosensitive epilepsy
