"Branchage" {bron-car-ge}
A word familiar to all islanders as the name for an annual tour of the roads and lanes by parish officials to check that hedges and trees are correctly trimmed. Some lanes would be about 3 feet wide if left unattended after some rain in the summer. You will often see frantic hedge trimming going on by landowners when the branchage visit is due, to avoid painful fines.
So, the Branchage film festival is held at several venues over four days and presents some very interesting films, documentaries and commissioned works. Read all about it on their website: branchagefestival.com where you'll find background, schedules and how to book. There's some really fascinating stuff and it's also nice to see some quite intellectual entertainment available as well as an organisation supporting and developing professional creative skills.
The video is the trailer from last year's event, but it gives you an idea.
