Wild Ideas is an initiative of Bristol Natural History Consortium, challenging six groups of young people in the South West of England each to produce a short film aimed at communicating to young people about the environment.
The productions were developed with the aid of a series of workshops run by the BBC Natural History Unit and Blackout Arts was commissioned to create unusal, innovative and compelling cinema installations to screen the resulting films in the localities in which they were made.
This included projecting on to the internal structure of the Gyvor tin mine in Cornwall, projecting across a lake in Bath's Victoria Park, creating a 'cinema between the trees' and outdoor light installation on the side of a church at New Trinity Arts Centre, Bristol and creating high-quality indoor and outdoor cinema spaces in Plymouth town centre, Knowle West and Congresbury.
