Cinestar at the Cornwall Film Festival
Film and Light in Redruth: Cinestar's new home at Back Lane West, Redruth connects us to the history of cinema in Cornwall; the former Druid's Hall showed early panorama’s and cinematic curiosities, later becoming Redruth’s first cinema in 1910. Next door at Murdoch House, William Murdoch experimented with coal-fired gaslight and innovations which led to the aniline dyes still used for tinting analogue film today. Our opening screenings and young peoples heritage projects are inspired by our new location, early cinema, the history of film and light-making technologies.
This programme is dedicated to friend and colleague Martha Blassnigg of Transtechnology Research at Plymouth University. We have lost a spark
in art science technology collaboration and a generous friend.
