We are delighted to once again be part of the Orkney International Science Festival!

The events are online this year and you can tune in to the Hoy evening on Friday 03 September at 6:15 when it will be streamed via the festival’s YouTube channel.

Take a journey to Rackwick in Hoy, one of George Mackay Brown’s favourite places.

Between those strong red cliffs
Under that great mild sky
Lies Orkney’s last enchantment
The hidden valley of light.

– from Rackwick by George Mackay Brown

Filmmaker Mark Jenkins brings together images of Rackwick with voices past and present, using a slow cinema approach to focus on the aural experience. The film was created in response to ‘The Hidden Valley of Light’, one of the ‘Tales o Hoy’ podcast episodes developed for the Hoy Heritage Centre.
