"Hireth"
(Cornish word meaning 'longing for home' )A Film of the Theatre Show and the Making of a Documentary
1914. West Cornwall. Harry Elton is starting a new life below the ground mining for tin.
Across the channel, a great war rages.
When the British Army arrive with an unexpected offer, Harry and his friends swap the dirty, dark and dangerous tunnels of Geevor for the deadly underground warzone beneath the Western front.
‘You battle everyday with nature. You fight to drag minerals from the ground. You’re already fighters. You’re already warriors. Its time for you to lend those skills to the war effort’.
This epic production tells the untold story of Cornwall’s forgotten war heroes and the unique impact they had on the First World War.
Featuring a cast of professional actors and a community chorus, 'Hireth' marked the centenary of the end of World War 1 in the Grade-II listed St Just Miners’ Chapel in November 2019.
Cornwall World Heritage Site is delighted to support the showing of the Hireth film in communities in Cornwall and West Devon.

Director: Mark Jenkin.
Stars: Ed Rowe, Mary Woodvine, Giles King & Simon Shepherd.Film critic, Mark Kermode writes: “My favourite film of 2019 was Bait, the breakthrough feature from Cornish film-maker Mark Jenkin. An authentic portrait of tensions between locals and tourists in a once-thriving fishing village, it was shot with clockwork cameras on grainy 16mm stock, which Jenkin hand-processed in his studio in Newlyn.”
Modern-day Cornish fisherman Martin (Ed Rowe) is struggling to buy a boat while coping with family rivalry and the influx of London money, Airbnb and stag parties to his harbour village.
The summer season brings simmering tensions between the locals and newcomers to boiling point, with tragic consequences.
Stunningly shot on a vintage 16mm camera using monochrome Kodak stock, Mark Jenkin’s BAIT is a timely and funny, yet poignant new film that gets to the heart of a community facing unwelcome change.★★★★★‘One of the defining British films of the decade’ The Guardian

The Colour Room :
Clarice Cliff’s bizarre life, and how it came to the big screen
The Colour Room is Sky Cinema’s latest release, due to be streamed and in cinemas this autumn.Join Claire Peate, the film's award-winning screenwriter, as she explores and reveals the incredible rags to riches story of Clarice Cliff, a lowly factory worker from The Potteries, who dared to not accept her station in life, and went on to became an Art Deco pioneer.The Colour Room stars Matthew Goode (The Crown, Downton Abbey, The Imitation Game), David Morrisey, Kerry Fox, Adrian Rawlings, Bill Paterson and Phoebe Dynevor, who played Daphne Bridgerton in Netflix's 2020 worldwide hit Bridgerton, as Clarice Cliff.The Colour Room is directed by Claire McCarthy (The Luminaries, Ophelia).
The film follows the journey of a determined, working class woman, Clarice Cliff, as she breaks the glass ceiling and revolutionises the workplace in the 20th century.
Clarice Cliff (Dynevor) is a vivacious young factory worker in the industrial British midlands of the 1920s. Bursting at the seams with ideas for colours and shapes, Clarice takes more and more dangerous risks - but she manages to stay one step ahead of the workhouse and impress the eccentric factory owner Colley Shorter (Goode) on the way with her talent and innovation.
Claire Peate is a novelist and BAFTA Rocliffe winning scriptwriter. Originally from the Midlands, she’s excited to be relocating to Cornwall next year.
Claire will be interviewed by former BBC Radio Cornwall Presenter & Producer and writer Tim Hubbard.In this fascinating talk, you’ll hear about Clarice’s struggles and scandals, and how the film came to be made in the middle of a pandemic.
There’s even a chance to discover what Clarice Cliff smelt like!

Film : 'St. Just Ordinalia'
(Cert. PG)In September, 2021, at the historic site of Plen an Gwari, St Just, there was a series of open-air repertory performances of all three Ordinalia plays (Origo Mundi, The Passion and The Resurrection).
The epic production gave audiences an opportunity, if desired, to join in with Cornish Language, dancing and sea-song sessions, watch Cornish wrestling, listen to the history of St Just's Plen an Gwari and to wander along the town trails and heritage walks.
The cast perfectly created and delivered the aim of the original plays to impress the Christian bible stories on the local population. With creative, moving, dramatic, witty and farcical scenes adapted from the original by local playwright Pauline Sheppard, the actors, supported by a 34-strong choir, performed at the top of their game.
Over 150 costumes were designed and made for the cast. A team of 27 set builders helped to create and build the set and, in all, over 230 volunteers helped to make the dream a reality.
Watch the trailer for this epic production, below.
The film version being shown of this unique occasion includes scenes from each of the three plays,complete with an introduction, interviews and other special features.
This is your opportunity to re-live this remarkable event, or to experience for the first time, this extraordinary celebration of Cornish heritage and culture.
'The spirit of St Just's Ordinalia should be bottled up and made available on the NHS!' ; Ted Lean, Project Director
'This was a successful, major community event that could not fail to arouse intense admiration and not a little envy from any outsider' ; Professor Sally Mackey, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama

Bafta Winner – Outstanding British Film
Bafta Winner – Best Original Screenplay (Martin McDonagh)
Bafta Winner – Best Supporting Actor (Barry Keoghan)
Bafta Winner - Best Supporting Actress (Kerry Condon)• 9 Oscar Nominations!
The Banshees of Inisherin is a film you have to see at least once in your life – ideally more!
The Winner of 4 BAFTAs, including Outstanding British Movie and in receipt of 9 Oscar nominations, The Banshees of Inisherin is a masterpiece of filmmaking, in parts both hilariously funny and heart-wrenchingly emotional.
Reuniting actors Colin Farrel and Brendan Gleason from “In Bruges” with that film's writer and director Martin McDonagh, The Banshees of Inisherin is beautiful to watch, with stunning Irish scenery and a joy to listen to, with McDonagh's lyrical script bringing an entrancing poetry and rhythm to the dialogue.
Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, The Banshees of Inisherinfollows lifelong friends Pádraic (Colin Farrell) and Colm (Brendan Gleeson), who find themselves at an impasse when Colm unexpectedly puts an end to their friendship.
A stunned Pádraic, aided by his sister Siobhán (Kerry Condon) and troubled young islander Dominic (Barry Keoghan), endeavours to repair the relationship, refusing to take no for an answer. But Pádraic's repeated efforts only strengthen his former friend’s resolve and when Colm delivers a desperate ultimatum, events swiftly escalate, with shocking consequences.
“Flawless tragicomedy of male friendship gone sour”; The Guardian
“McDonagh’s latest is heart-wrenching in its simplicity, dark-humoured and unadorned in its sentiments”; The Independent
“McDonagh is a modern-day Mozart and here he’s composed an awe-inspiring tale of obsession” ; Evening StandardDoors Open and Licensed Bar from 6.00pm
