On Friday 18 November at 19:00 GMT Sybil Ah-Mayne and Wendy Pye will talk about their new initiative Soul Films
Sybil and Wendy founded Soul Films in 2020 after the sudden death of two close friends. They had the idea to make a short personal documentary video celebrating each of their friends' lives.
When the video was completed they placed a plaque with a unique QR code link to view the film at a significant public location. This created a lasting legacy for people to continue finding out about their friends and their connection to that place. Through the filmmaking process they also discovered providing a sensitive space for friends and family to collectively remember can also help with their grieving process.
From these experiences the inspiration for Soul Films was born.
Lifting the Lid is an annual, online, international festival of death and dying that we aim to be free* for all to attend, now in its second year. You can join us from 18-20 November 2022 to choose from 100+ different discussions, performances, book readings, workshops and much more.
Due to the phenomenal response we have already reached our capacity of Free Audience Tickets.
As the festival is unfunded, in order to keep registration open we have had to add a small charge of £2.50 per audience registration. We hope you understand this is to cover the costs we are charged. You will also have access to the replay area of the festival until November 2023 to catch up on anything you miss.
Register for your ticket.
