FILM FESTIVAL ATA | VĀSA
Reflections of an Ocean
Thursday 26 – Saturday 28 September 2019 Raven Row, 56 Artillery Lane, London, E1 7LS
We come from generations of story tellers. We have so many stories, we could fill our ocean many times over. Our stories come from the rich and colourful cultures of an ocean, that some might call Te Moananui a Kiwa, over 150 million square kilometres of water. Our stories reflect our complex and beautiful diversity, the things that make us different and the similarities we have with each other, like our ocean, the VĀSA, it is the space between us, that connects us together.
In*ter*is*land Collective are honoured to present ATA | VĀSA – Reflections of an Ocean, a small but carefully curated collection of a few stories, told in the medium of film, that come from the latest generations of storytellers.
