Following a kind invitation from Meg Jamieson
to speak at a conference in Cambridge (Women in Film) we've just
spent a slightly surreal couple of nights inside the modernist
splendour of Murray Edwards college (formerly New Hall but that is
another story). Despite growing up a stones throw from the town
this was the first real taste I've ever had of Cambridge academic
life from the inside. Actually despite the massive collection of
women's art (this is an all women's college) we spent quite a bit
of time admiring the exterior splendour of some really quite 'out
there' planting combinations deployed around the modernist complex.
Our fantasies around the character of the college gardener were
rewarded on the last evening when she was revealed to also be a
female film maker ...
