Belief is the final work in the Flat Earth Trilogy following on from Flat Earth (2007) and A short film about War (2009/2010). Supported by Creative Scotland's Vital Spark programme, New Media Scotland's Alt-w Fund, ATLAS Arts and Animate Projects.

After seven years our outdoor version of Decorative Newsfeeds in Forest Hill, London will be decommissioned today.  It was only supposed to be there for five years so we're happy that it has had such a long run.  You can find documentation of the piece on our website at:

http://www.thomson-craighead.net/docs/decnfh.html

and you can also still see our other outdoor version of this work in Cambridge by The Junction theatre:

http://www.thomson-craighead.net/docs/decncam.html

Thank you to everyone who has supported both works over the years and if anyone wants to give the Forest Hill version a new home then do get in touch, although it's possibly a bit big for most living room walls :)
