This months brings with it an opportunity to see ‘Fawley’, the award-winning short film from local filmmakers Chu Li Shewring and Adam Gutch.
This beautifully shot documentary carefully combines speech, sound and image fragments from archive and present-day footage, whilst exploring Fawley Power Station’s history and demolition through playful and profound discussion with themes of ‘power’, nature and the environment.
The film will be screened as part of an exhibition Chu Li and Adam have curated with Ian Whitmore at Quay Arts Centre in Newport.
Screening, panel talk and exhibition launch
The screening on Thursday 22nd September will be followed by a panel talk with commissioners Urban Wilderness, Chu-Li and Adam, as well as biodiversity consultant, Ian Boyd.
Refreshments and an exhibition launch in the Cafe Gallery space follows the screening.
Cafe Gallery exhibition
The exhibition will feature a ‘timeline’ display of research materials the filmmakers gathered whilst making the film, artwork made by people they interviewed and a specially commissioned mobile sculpture made from glass fragments retrieved from the demolition of the power station’s turbine hall.

This will be a free event, but seats need to be booked in advance.
The Fawley film screening, panel talk and exhibition launch takes place at Quay Arts Centre, Little London, Newport on Thursday 22nd September from 7pm to 10pm in the Minghella Theatre and Cafe Gallery.
