The Beehives latest film project involved a series of surrealist workshops alongside, FilmBee artists during summer 2019.

This epic created involved many young people and their vivid imaginations culminating in our very own installation at Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival 2019.

[INSERT TITLE HERE]: A Surrealist Gaming Experience

This project has evolved out of experimenting with a sequence of Bernadette Mayer’s surrealist writing exercises with young people aged 11-18 who hang out at the Beehive, Berwick’s Youth Project. The emerging texts pointed towards an uncanny computer game character, an existentialist chicken piece from a 20 nugget share box, who has to suffer endless days trapped in a computer game intro that makes no sense. This lo-fi film takes its structure and visual language from the group’s close reading of screen-casts of popular video game intros uploaded to YouTube.
