Weâre told we all have a right to roam in the countryside â but does that apply to everyone equally?
Right of Way is a new feature-length touring programme that mixes stunning new artistsâ commissions with historical archive films that give a bigger picture of questions of access and inclusion in the UK countryside.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Right of Way features three new short films that challenge the enduring image of the rural idyll as an untouched and unchanging space where time stands still. What happens when Black, Asian and other ethnically diverse people enter these landscapes? How can our natural spaces be homes to protest, trespassing, activism and raves? Paired with archive films that show that the life of the countryside contains multitudes and disrupt simple narratives, this programme is a terrific platform for debate on historical and contemporary discussions about who has a right to the great outdoors and who is excluded from it.
NEW COMMISSIONS
black strangers - Directed by Dan Guthrie
Pastoral Malaise - Directed by Ufuoma Essi
Syncopated Green - Directed by Arjuna Neuman
Archive material provided courtesy of the BFI National Archive, East Anglian Film Archive, Wessex Film Archive and Screen Archive South East.
Right of Way is presented by the ICO and LUX and supported by the BFI Film Audience Network and Arts Council England.")
