About
About
Of Walking on Thin Ice (Camino to COP26) is a 55 minute B&W 16mm film documentary by artist filmmaker Benjamin Wigley (ART DOCS). It follows the story of climate activist walkers (including the Coat of Hopes) as they travel across England and Scotland to attend the world climate summit, held in Glasgow, in November 2021. This is an immersive and poetic film memory of the Camino, capturing footage of landscapes, the slow and quick movements of flag-waving, and the ethereal sound of unseen voices sharing reflections.
Ben walked with the pilgrims; rigging himself with binaural microphones and shooting on 16mm film on his Bolex camera, which he then developed, by hand. Following its residency at the Cathedral, the film will then be made available for community screenings across Scotland as part of Take One Action’s Community Film Clubs Initiative. More information about the film can be found here.
