With Dr Kayla Parker and Dr Stuart Moore 
Experience the City in a novel and immersive way at the University’s Immersive Vision Theatre with a unique screening of Flow + Cadence, a 360˚ film created by film-makers Kayla Parker and Stuart Moore. This innovative film provides an all-encompassing view of the River Plym and its estuary, captured from kayaks. The screening offers a fresh perspective of the landscape, filmed in autumn last year and originally premiered during the Being Human Festival. 
Flow + Cadence takes viewers on a journey around the River Plym, featuring scenes from the Tory Brook upstream from Marsh Mills – a historical waterway significant for bringing sailing ships to Plympton – the upper estuary known as the Laira, and the Cattewater where it flows into Plymouth Sound. 
Dr Parker and Dr Moore will be present to introduce their film, share insights from their kayaking adventures, and discuss their ongoing research on the River Plym and its estuary. They will highlight the environmental challenges faced by this riverscape, such as the impacts of the climate emergency and increased habitat pressure, and explain their methods of filming from kayaks. They will also screen other 360˚ films, including short animations created with constellations of common wild flowers growing along the riverbank. 
The creation of Flow + Cadence was supported by a Start Something Women in Immersive Tech Award granted to Kayla Parker by Real Ideas. Post-production was handled by Luke Christison, with an original score composed and recorded by Ben Payne. 
Don’t miss this opportunity to see the city and its natural waterways from a whole new angle and learn about the important research and environmental issues surrounding the River Plym!
