To me it’s Home: reflections on a community

Premiere – Wednesday 20 April at 7pm

North Edinburgh Arts

To Me It's Home

I hope you will be able to join us here at North Edinburgh Arts on the evening of Wednesday 20 April at 7pm to enjoy the premiere of ‘To Me it’s Home; Reflections on a Community’.

Made by Angelica Kroeger, this short film features many members of our community.

Funded by Urban Union, as part of the Arts Strategy led by NEA, the film is one of the first artworks created by this ongoing programme. It endeavours to capture a lyrical snapshot our community in a time of change. The film lasts just over ten minutes and we will be serving refreshments in the café afterwards.
