The St Ives September Festival will be showing As I Was Going to St Ives – a new documentary film about three visual artists who work with text and who have connections to St Ives – NSA member Vivian Pedley, together with artists Rex Dixon and Adrian Frost. Showing at the Penwith Gallery in St Ives, with an accompanying exhibition, the film will premiere on the 13th September with a 5.30 opening and bar. It will then continue showing during the St Ives September Festival from 14 – 24 September 2022. A short trailer for the film can be seen here
