The Heroes of Telemark (U)
There are strong connections between Dumfries and Norway, especially dating from World War II. By 1940, the Nazis had overrun Norway; many men from the Norwegian army and others sought safety in Scotland.

The film 'The Heroes of Telemark' celebrates the efforts of Norwegians to prevent the Nazis developing the atom bomb. Judith Hewitt, Museums Curator, will introduce the film and show a pair of original Norwegian skis from the period.
Richard Polley, Rosefield Mills Project Co-ordinator, will give an update on the Mills. All tickets are £5 per person.

Victor Kossakovsky’s visually stunning film takes audiences on an extraordinary journey through the material that makes up our habitat: concrete, and its ancestor stone. He raises a fundamental question: how do we inhabit the world of tomorrow?

Centring on a landscape project by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi, Kossakovsky uses the perfect circle of stones in De Lucchi’s garden to reflect on the rise and fall of civilisations, capturing breathtaking imagery, from the temple ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon, dating back to AD 60 to the recent destruction of cities in Turkey following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in early 2023.
