Whither Shall I Wander

A Walk Through Hinterland
Inspired by two films from 1978 by renowned British filmmaker Peter Greenaway, and a sketch by the artist entitled ‘Whither Shall I Wander’ (1976-78), Hinterland invites you to take part in a walk through the Attenborough nature reserve for a 3 hour guided tour with an ornithology expert followed by a special screening of ‘A Walk Through H’ and ‘Water Wrackets’ on 16mm.

Please come dressed for the weather. Binoculars and sketchbooks may be useful.
No dogs please. This afternoon of walking, sketching and film presentations is free, but booking is essential. Afternoon tea will be provided.

A Walk Through H (1978), 40 minutes
Subtitled 'The Reincarnation of an Ornithologist', A Walk Through H records an extraordinary symbolic journey through a mysterious bird-filled country undertaken by an ornithologist at the end of his life.

Water Wrackets (1978), 11 minutes
Nature and the countryside feature prominently in Greenaway's earliest films. Against the exquisite beauty of close-ups of branches, water lilies and swirling water, we hear a story, serenely narrated, of ancient dynasty.
