Film Night ~ A Year on Dartmoor

A Year on Dartmoor is a wildlife documentary filmed by Ben Silverwood over the course of a year on Dartmoor National Park, following the changing seasons and the wildlife that calls the moor home. From winter storms and biting winds to the quieter abundance of spring and summer, the film explores life on one of Britain’s most iconic landscapes.

19-year-old Ben lives in Lustleigh and is a self taught film-maker. He was given a camera by his uncle 4 years ago and has developed into a talented wildlife photographer. This film was shot in and around Lustleigh and on Dartmoor. Since making this short documentary he will soon feature in BBC Springwatch, and he has been courted by The Wildlife Trust. Ben will be joining us on the evening for a Q&A session after we screen his film.

Dartmoor is the place I grew up and still call home. Living on the moor shaped my love for wildlife and filmmaking from an early age, and this film is the result of spending a year observing the land and its inhabitants with patience and care. It focuses on the small, often unnoticed moments — the rhythms, behaviours, and challenges that define life here. This documentary is both a portrait of Dartmoor’s wildlife and a personal journey through a landscape that has always been part of my life.

Doors open at 6:30pm and screening starts at 7:00pm. Tickets are priced at £8.50 plus booking fee. Please note tickets are non-refundable.
