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.

拍摄康沃尔郡的红河将涉及制作一部30分钟的纪录片，在BBC 4电视台播放，内容是关于AHRC ECR LF项目红河的研究结果：倾听污染的河流（AH/S 012303/1）。英国广播公司已同意于2021年10月在BBC 4播出该节目，作为其庆祝国家诗歌月的一部分。英国广播公司是该项目的合作伙伴，提供现金和实物费用（尽管由于法律的和商业原因，他们无法说明广播时间的价值和与传输有关的其他费用）。该方案将包含作为最初的红河AHRC项目的研究成果的实践而写的长诗的摘录。在19世纪80年代，这条河被描述为世界上最赚钱的河流之一，因为它的水中携带的矿沉积物产生了丰富的矿产资源。20世纪90年代康沃尔的采矿业崩溃后，红河流经的普尔、雷德鲁斯和坎伯恩矿区成为欧洲最贫穷的地区之一。这一转变的影响是巨大的和创伤性的。现在，随着投资回流到康沃尔郡，为锂和钴等稀土金属的“道德”开采提供资金，以及锡等“赋能金属”，该地区再次被描述为英国的矿产“克朗代克”。这是一个正确的时刻来思考这条河的过去，现在和未来，作为一个复杂的人类/自然的混合主题，由采掘业塑造，并使用为红河项目创作的诗歌（和相关研究）告知BBC 4电视纪录片关于这条河，将在国家层面上提出的问题。这部电影将跨越BBC电视台的艺术和自然节目类型。它将采用创新的拍摄方法来拍摄河流的小规模，受损，有时“丑陋”的外观，并庆祝其作为一个被忽视的人类/自然混合地形的复杂性，丰富的文化意义，以及受损和恢复的生物多样性。这部电影将探讨有关河流未来的问题，并进一步探讨其他受到虐待的小水道。受访者将从为研究项目做出贡献和塑造研究项目的个人中选出，其中包括当地的声音以及学者和专家。访谈将在红河沿线沿着的地点进行，以确保该方案在细节方面具有地方性，但在围绕补救和当地社区参与的景观辩论方面具有国家甚至全球意义。我们将与我们的区域合作伙伴举行现场区域放映和小组讨论，以确保这部电影能够接触到通常不看BBC 4电视的当地观众，并就它提出的问题进行辩论和记录影响反应。这些活动可能会发生在伊甸园项目，心脏地带，科努比亚艺术和科学信托基金和环境可持续发展中心在埃克塞特大学彭林校区。这些活动是现有的影响力和参与活动计划的一部分，计划于2021年下半年作为红河项目的一部分。PI将与前BBC独立制片人Simon Willis共同撰写剧本。剧本、组织、采访和拍摄将在颁奖开始之日起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，极大地增强原来由人权委员会资助的红河项目的影响。该计划的观众人数在30万至60万之间。
