Filming Cornwall's Red River will involve making a 30minute documentary TV film for transmission on BBC4 TV about the research findings of the AHRC ECR LF project Red River: Listening to a Polluted River (AH/S012303/1). The BBC has agreed to air the programme on BBC4 during October 2021 as part of its celebration of National Poetry Month. The BBC are a partner on the project, contributing cash and in-kind costs (although they are unable, for legal and business reasons, to state the value of air-time and other costs associated with transmissions). The programme will contain extracts from the long poem written as the practice-as-research output for the original Red River AHRC project.In the 1880s, the river was described as one of the most lucrative in the world because of the mineral wealth generated from the mine sediments carried in its water. After the collapse of mining in Cornwall in the 1990s, the mining district of Pool, Redruth and Camborne, through which the Red River flows, became one of the poorest in Europe. The impact of this shift has been dramatic and traumatic. Now, with investment flowing back into Cornwall to fund the 'ethical' extraction of rare-earth metals like lithium and cobalt, and 'enabling metals' like tin, the area is again being described as the UK's mineral 'Klondike'. This is the right moment to think about the river's past, present and future as a complex human/nature hybrid subject shaped by extractive industries, and to use the poem (and associated research) composed for the Red River project to inform a BBC4 TV documentary about the river that will foreground the issues it raises at a national level. The film will cross BBC TV's arts and nature programme genres. It will take an innovative filming approach to the small-scale, damaged and sometimes 'ugly' appearance of the river and celebrate its complexity as a neglected human/natural hybrid landform rich in culture significance, and damaged and recovering biodiversity. The film will explore questions about the future of the river and, by extension, other mistreated minor watercourses. Interviewees will be drawn from the pool of individuals who have contributed to and shaped the research project, and will include local voices as well as academics and experts. Interviews will be conducted on location at sites along the Red River to ensure the programme is local in its engagement with the detail, but of national and even global significance in terms of landscape debates around remediation and local community engagement. We will hold live regional screenings and panel discussions with our regional partners to ensure that the film reaches local audiences who do not usually access BBC4 TV, and to debate and record impact responses to the issues it raises. These events may take place at the Eden Project, Heartlands, The Cornubian Arts and Science Trust and the Environment Sustainability Centre at the Penryn Campus of Exeter University. These events form part of the existing programme of impact and engagement activities planned for the second half of 2021 as part of the Red River project.The PI will present and co-write the script with the independent ex-BBC producer Simon Willis. The scripting, organising, interviews and filming will take place over a period of approximately two months from the start date of the award. The film will greatly enhance, through creative and innovative filming, the impact of the original AHRC-funded Red River project. Project viewing figures for the programme range between 300 000 & 600 000.

拍摄康沃尔的红河将包括制作一部30分钟的电视纪录片，在BBC4电视台播出，内容是AHRC ECR LF项目红河：倾听污染的河流(AH/S012303/1)的研究成果。英国广播公司已经同意在2021年10月在BBC4播出该节目，作为庆祝国家诗歌月的一部分。BBC是该项目的合作伙伴，提供现金和实物成本(尽管出于法律和商业原因，他们无法说明广播时间和其他与传输相关的成本的价值)。该节目将摘录这首长诗，作为最初的红河AHRC项目的实践作为研究成果。在19世纪80年代，这条河被描述为世界上最有利可图的河流之一，因为它的水中携带的矿山沉积物产生了矿产财富。在20世纪90年代康沃尔矿业崩溃后，红河流经的Pool、Redruth和Camborne矿区成为欧洲最贫穷的矿区之一。这种转变的影响是戏剧性的，也是创伤性的。现在，随着投资回流到康沃尔，以资助锂和钴等稀土金属的“合乎道德”的开采，以及锡等“促成金属”的开采，该地区再次被描述为英国的矿产“克朗代克”。现在是时候把这条河的过去、现在和未来作为一个由采掘业塑造的复杂的人类/自然混合主题来思考，并使用为红河项目创作的这首诗(和相关研究)来为BBC4的一部关于这条河的电视纪录片提供信息，这部纪录片将突出它在国家层面提出的问题。这部电影将跨越BBC电视台的艺术和自然节目流派。它将采用一种创新的拍摄方法来拍摄这条河的小规模、受损的、有时甚至是“丑陋”的外观，并庆祝它的复杂性，因为它是一个被忽视的人与自然的混合地貌，具有丰富的文化意义，以及受损和恢复的生物多样性。这部电影将探索关于这条河的未来，以及其他被虐待的小水道的问题。受访者将从为研究项目做出贡献和塑造的个人中挑选出来，其中将包括当地的声音以及学者和专家。采访将在红河沿岸的地点进行，以确保该方案与细节的接触是当地的，但在围绕补救和当地社区参与的景观辩论方面具有全国乃至全球的意义。我们将与我们的地区合作伙伴举行现场区域放映和小组讨论，以确保这部电影接触到通常不收看BBC4电视的当地观众，并辩论和记录对其提出的问题的影响回应。这些活动可能会在伊甸园项目、哈特兰、科努比艺术和科学信托基金以及埃克塞特大学佩林校区的环境可持续发展中心举行。这些活动是计划在2021年下半年进行的影响和参与活动计划的一部分，作为红河项目的一部分。PI将与独立的前BBC制片人西蒙·威利斯一起展示并共同撰写剧本。编剧、组织、采访和拍摄将在颁奖开始日期起大约两个月的时间内进行。这部电影将通过创造性和创新性的拍摄，极大地增强AHRC资助的原始红河项目的影响力。该节目的项目观看人数在30万至60万之间。
