Bloodyminded (15*)

,Barbican Cinema 2
Bloodyminded

We present the UK's first interactive live streamed feature film, Bloodyminded, a story of soldiers past and present. 

SJ breaks into an army base to bury the ashes of her Great-grandfather, a conscientious objector during World War One. Inside, surrounded by soldiers and the ghosts of past wars, she finds a place where her certainty begins to falter. 
   
Part of 14-18 NOW, the UK’s arts programme for the First World War centenary, Bloodyminded is the UK's first interactive live streamed feature film, shot in a single take and broadcast to cinemas and online - once and once only.

Guided by the narrator, we are asked to consider our own relationship with violence - as individuals and as members of a society that continues to wage wars on our behalf. And as the story unfolds, we are invited to add our thoughts via the Bloodyminded microsite.
