SUMMARY:40 Farms – behind the scenes : Amy Bateman
DESCRIPTION:Amy’s visit comes hot on the heels of her photography-based book ‘Forty Farms’\, an homage to the iconic Cumbrian landscape and those who work tirelessly to maintain it. From the Herdwick-grazed Lake District commons to the big-sky Solway marshes; from isolated farmsteads\, unchanged in generations\, to businesses at the cutting-edge of innovation; from world-class sheep breeders to award-winning cheesemakers\, the book is a visual record of farming at a period of profound change. Amy’s talk provides a unique insight into how she produced the book and created some of the images\, together with some hilarious anecdotes from the journey.

SUMMARY:Keswick Alhambra - its history and challenges : Graham King
DESCRIPTION:KESWICK’S ALHAMBRA is one of the oldest continuously operating cinemas in the UK\, having opened its doors in January 1914. The projectors continued to roll through two world wars and showings were brought to an extended halt only by the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and 2021. This talk covers the cinema’s long history from its earliest days through the introduction of talkies to the latest technological innovations and the Alhambra’s resurrection as a twin-screen cinema in 2021. Beyond this history\, we’ll tell you about the current challenges of running a stand-alone independent cinema in a business dominated on the distribution side by massive international companies such as Disney\, Sony and Warner and on the exhibitor side in the UK by the large multiplex chains. We will also discuss the tensions of being a much-loved small-town institution that in fact makes the vast majority of its living from visitors.  \nGraham King is the Alhambra’s current proprietor along with his partner Jonathan Moore. A 2020 transplant to Keswick from London\, his past career includes radio and television presenting\, running a TV outside broadcast company and 20 years as a barrister practising mostly in criminal law.
