Collective effort
Isle of Wight artist, Anna Fauzy-Ackroyd, who compiled the exhibition, explains,

“This will be highlighted in the exhibition which will also include books and information about the films that have shown on the Isle of Wight which include Ithaka, that was recently shown at Ventnor Arts Club to a full house, and XY Chelsea.”
