On Saturday 28th November Derbyshire-based arts charity Junction Arts premiered our latest film celebrating ‘Lighting the Way’, a special ‘socially distanced’ event created to replace the beloved annual Bolsover Lantern Parade.
2020 has been a challenging year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and with restrictions on public gatherings in place, Junction Arts created this unique project for the community of Bolsover to give people the chance to build and display lanterns at home, and in schools and care homes. Check out the film below!
Produced entirely remotely, the ‘Lighting the Way’ film from YSP Media is edited together from the contributions of participants from across Bolsover who generously sent us photos and videos of their wonderful creations being made and displayed with pride. To see the community coming together so creatively in such a difficult time was incredibly heartwarming and inspiring.
‘Lighting The Way’ was officially marked at 5pm on the 28th November, as all of the lanterns made this year were lit and placed in windows across Bolsover as a symbol of celebration, union and hope. Our thanks to all to the team at Junction Arts, the artists and all of the communities involved in bringing this film to life. Find out more about the whole project here.
