Screening of 'Little White Feather and the Hunter' by Anna Lucas at King's Lynn Arts Centre

Following an encounter with a lute playing anthropologist and a Pocahontas enthusiast at the Harwich Shanty Festival 2007, Anna Lucas travelled round Virginia, USA, using the legendary princess as a virtual guide. Filmed in the estuary landscapes of Essex and Virginia, Lucas's film is a loose re-telling of the Pocahontas story with voiceover from amateurs and experts on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Pocahontas story also has particular resonance for King's Lynn as John Rolfe was born in Heacham and a portrait of Pocahontas and her young son Thomas hangs in King's Lynn in the Town Hall collection.

'Little White Feather and the Hunter' with be shown at the Red Barn, King's Lynn Art Centre 13 November - 22 December 2010. For more information visit www.kingslynnarts.co.uk.

The film was commissioned by Essex County Council in partnership with Commissions East in commemoration of the American connections between Essex, England and Virginia, USA, as part of the 'Jamestown 400' anniversary of the first permanent English speaking settlement in North America.
