LSFF: Special Event: Rich Pickings Presents Life After Life + Discussion

"I was sat with my legs through railings on a bridge that hung 30ft above a stream, when the coach smashed into me and crushed me through the bars like play-doh. The pain should have been immense, but I wasn’t in my body, I wasn’t the one laying on a ledge, bleeding, precariously rolling ever so slowly toward my death – I was on the other side of the road watching it unfold.

This event explores near death experiences and how they affect people's lives. We explore the experiences of those who have been on, and beyond, the edge of death and lived to tell the tale. 

The event includes a programme of short poetic films about life, death and what may or may not lie beyond, as well discussion with speakers including Christopher French, Professor of Psychology and Co-ordinator of the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit at Goldsmiths, University of London.
