The Salt Of The Earth - Sunday 15th November at Rheged with optional meal

"He travelled to the 4 corners of the world as a social photographer and a witness to the human condition" – so does Wim Wenders describe Sebastiao Salgado in The Salt of the Earth, our film this week; We, in turn, travel to Rheged to take advantage of the huge screen there to see it.

The film is a documentary of Sebastiao Salgado’s life, giving Wenders the palette to show not just the amazing photographs Salgado took but allowing Wenders to produce a beautiful film as he follows Salgado around the world; a kind of ‘Baraka’ with words. The result was nominated for the Oscar for Best Documentary and gets good reviews from nearly all the critics. Seeing this at Rheged should give us a magical night (and don’t forget you can stay for a meal afterwards if you want – just email info@keswickfilmclub.org to order your food!)
