Gossip: Film Screening and Q&A Session

Step down into the historic cells of Chelmsford Prison, now transformed into the atmospheric Voodoo Keller Bar, for an intimate screening of Gossip, a short film exploring community, power, and resistance in the 16th century.

This short tale reimagines the untold stories of so-called witches—not as villains, but as midwives, healers, and women with knowledge and power.

Produced by Hannah Renton, an East London writer/director and graduate of the National Film and Television School’s MA in Directing Fiction, Gossip reflects her interest in tender, subversive storytelling that explores care, intimacy, and resilience.

• 17-minute film screening
• 30-minute Q&A session with the filmmaker

Screenings: 6:15pm & 9pm.

This event is strictly for those aged 18 years old and over.
