Over the past twelve months Kristina Holmes has been working on a special documentary film, commissioned for the alumni-funded transformation of Fellows' Garden.

Watch the film via the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNs47eVqLZ4.

Kris writes: "In ‘Fellows Portrait’, the documentary delves into the world of Fellows’ Garden, University College. Since 1660, the space has been an integral part of the Castle. The space is fundamentally communal with fleeting moments of solitary use. The documentary explores the potential brought by the redevelopment of the garden including a raised terrace performance space: an addition that will elevate the Garden into a sight of performance and creativity.

This project was funded by the Slater Fund at University College.

We are indebted to the many alumni whose generous financial support made the garden project possible.
