Local Hero The Steeple Newburgh North Fife

Film Studio in The Steeple Arts Newburgh North Fife. Tonight is a showing of the Iconic Scottish film, Local Hero by Bill Forsyth. A comfortable space in which to watch and enjoy, even better you can bring along your own victuals. This the first film night of more to follow, you've obviously missed yourself tonight but you can maybe buy the video below.


A Review. A charming film, almost perfect from location to casting to plot. A jaded American businessman journeys to Scotland to take advantage of the locals and ends up falling in love with the village and the quiet life.

If you want to put a smile on your face, this is the way to do it.Local Hero [DVD] [1983]

Budzi North Fife and Edinburgh

Mary Ann Orr and Lauren duPreez excited at moving the Budzi project onwards in North Fife and The Edinburgh fringe.

BUDZI. (Zulu for goat) Is an outreach program to provide transformational experience for disadvantaged people of the Eastern Cape South Africa.
Goats,which provide meat and milk to the indigenous peoples, are a sign of wealth. Enterprises have started where hitherto the skins were discarded,now collectives have been trained to tan and dye the hides. This product along with found fabric and recycled material is being combined creatively to produce the bags using the thread techniques inspired by Artist Mary Ann Orr. It is a win win situation, participants gain skills, exercise their natural creativity, waste is reduced and above all self esteem is induced through productivity, much improved economic income resulting in happiness.
Now what can be better than that?

This work can be seen and purchased at The Edinburgh Fringe.
Market Stall 1, Parliament Square. Royal Mile from 22nd - 31st Aug.

Treat yourself to a practical work of Art.

Happy Ladies.
