The Merry Graingers
For the past 3 years, filmmaker and psychoanalyst Conor McCormack has documented the Bristol Hearing Voices Network - a self-help group for people who hear voices and have other unusual experiences. The result of this collaboration is In the Real, a 59 min observational documentary film which goes right to the heart of the voice-hearing experience. Who, or what, are the voices that only these men can hear? What do they say and what do they mean? And how does hearing voices transform their sense of self and world? In the Real was supported creatively and financially by Durham University's Hearing the Voice - in interdisciplinary research project funded by the Wellcome Trust which aims to provide a better understanding of what it is like to hear a voice when no-one is speaking.
