  • The final night of Dummy Jim's tour of England 2015 - bang in the centre of England's capital city.

    "Very beautiful and utterly bonkers" (The List****) "A totally unique mixture of documentary, fiction and playful visual poetry." (EIFF 2013)

    Unique British film Dummy Jim explores the eccentric adventures of profoundly deaf long-distance cyclist James Duthie who hailed from the close-knit Aberdeenshire fishing community of Cairnbulg and Inverallochy.

    In 1951, he set out on a lone cycling tour to Morocco. After three months of pedalling, he reached the Arctic Circle.

    12 years in the making, director Matt Hulse crafts a multi-layered memorial to a quietly determined maverick and the community that shaped him, with present-day village inhabitants emerging as creative participants.

    Deaf actor Samuel Dore leads.

    Director Matt Hulse will introduce his film.

    Captioned screening plus Q&A led by Gareth Evans with English/BSL interpretation by Jo Ross.

    PLUS a live set from electronica duo The Twelve Hour Foundation.

    This event is a FUNDRAISER for The Horse Hospital so please get generous and BE THERE. And spend a few moments inviting your friends to this event. Thank you.
