The film follows Scott Smith, an ecological wildlife surveyor for Argyll on the west-coast of Scotland and his journey to monitor one of Scotland’s most incredible birds, the golden eagle. The film explores the challenges faced by these majestic birds, including a recent decline in breeding success. In the 12- minute documentary, viewers will see how Scott Smith tirelessly tracks, monitors, rings, and observes Golden Eagles to understand their behaviour and contribute to their conservation.
The film also raises questions about whether the eagles will have a more successful breeding season and if their chicks can survive the challenges of infancy to reach the fledgling stage.

WHEN THE FLOODS COME (2023)
"Art Comes Alive" is an experimental experience that combines the worlds of music and live art. Our event showcased artists that visually interpreted an original 30-minute composition crafted by our 8 musicians. The composition was written following a narrative that was given to the audience at the beginning of the show but kept in secret from the artists, providing an opportunity to observe their unique interpretations and creative expressions guided solely by the music. Manuela, project director and Creator, composed the piece ‘Hope & Desire' and the main theme used on the other 7 compositions. Art Comes Alive promises to be back! ​To view the art created from the talented painters on the event, please visit our instagram page @artcomesaliveexhibition.The music will soon be released on all available platforms!​I f you interested to participate at the next Art comes Alive event contact us.
