Wind, Tide & Oar is a compelling exploration of engineless sailing, shot on 16mm film over three years. The film delves into the experiences of those who travel solely by harnessing the natural elements alone, following a diverse array of traditional boats and uncovering the unique rhythms and motivations of engineless navigation.

Journeying through rivers, coastlines, and open seas, spanning the UK, the Netherlands, and France, Wind, Tide & Oar creates a contemplative space, addressing themes of ecology, heritage, traditional skills, and maritime history. Using a 1960s hand-wound camera, Wahl offers a poetic and intimate perspective on a millennia-old craft, upended by the invention of mechanised power.

Through the film’s reveries, sailing becomes a means to explore our interaction with and responsibility to the environment. It invites deep reflection on our relationship with nature, our understanding of and commitment to sustainability, and our care for the world around us.

The film is shot around Suffolk, Cornwall and Essex.

A comedian, musician, actor and improviser, Rachel Parris is also an avid fan of Jane Austen. For 14 years she has been touring an improv comedy group called Austentatious and now she has written 'A Pride and Prejudice Novel'.

'Introducing Mrs Collins' imagines the life of Charlotte Lucas, the good friend of Elizabeth Bennet. In her marriage to Mr Collins, Charlotte chose stability over romance, but may she yet find her own happy ending?

This is a witty, warm, accomplished and entertaining novel and Rachel is a fabulous speaker whose enthusiasm for all things Austen is infectious!

A familiar face through her appearances on 'The Mash Report', 'Would I Lie to You?' and 'Mock the Week', Rachel is also a regular guest on BBC R4's 'The Now Show' and 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue'. She will be in conversation with Catherine Larner and signing copies of her book.

Please book at The Riverside in person or on the website www.theriverside.co.uk and be sure to include your name with your booking so that we can allocate your book on the night.

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. Buster Keaton’s 1924 comedy classic is reimagined with R.E.M. 's alt-rock masterpieces Monster (1994) and New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996).

In this sublime comedy teetering between reality and illusion, Buster Keaton stars as a film projectionist who dreams of becoming a detective. He uses his limited skills when he is framed by a rival for stealing his girlfriend’s father’s pocket watch. Keaton reportedly broke his neck performing one of the many dangerous practical stunts in the film.

Whether you’re a movie lover or a rock music fan this is an experience you won’t want to miss!!

This event will now begin with a 22 minute Buster Keaton short, The Balloonatic (1923), which has music composed by renowned Brazilian electronic artist, Amon Tobin.

This will then be followed by a 3 minute intro by Josh Frank (creator of Silent Synced), before the R.E.M x Sherlock Jr. feature.
