Measuring Time Solstice Shorts Festival Video

Jayne Pickering reads her own story, Measuring Time to kick off the festival at sunrise (four minutes past eight) in which Mac lives life on fast-forward

And two songs from Rosemary Lippard that take a look at measuring time with seasons and months of the year. (These link in rather nicely with Summer All Year Long’s Roll Turn Spin)

Our BSL interpreters wish it to be known that this is not what they consider performance standard signing, they needed a chance to rehearse with the performers for that, but you will be able to follow the story and songs.

And the Winners Are…

To celebrate National Short Story Week, the winners of the Solstice Shorts Festival Short Story Competition were announced last night at the Story Sessions

We are delighted to congratulate our twelve winners, who will receive various prizes including a surprisingly untacky trophy, and whose stories will be read at the festival, and published alongside a story from each of the judges in the forthcoming anthology, Solstice Shorts: 16 stories about time.

Five Judges Special Recommendations will be announced at the festival at SUNSET.

Thanks to everyone who took part (all 106 of you), we appreciate your interest in our festival which we hope is the first of many, so there will be other opportunities in the future.

Short-listed writers will receive brief feedback sometime next week.
