Pathways to the Past, A Warwickshire History Project; A Film Screening followed by Q&A, Jakob Reid and Harry McNeile (co-producers)

Pathways to the Past was a local history project run by Rewind, the multimedia history publication based at the University of Warwick. In 2025, over fifty students came together to research, create, and document the history of the local area, connecting students with the past that surrounds them. The result was Rewind’s first print edition and a documentary film exploring Warwickshire’s rich history. From the majesty of St Mary’s Guildhall to the castles of Warwick and Kenilworth, Pathways to the Past brings local history to life in print and on screen.
The event will include:

• An introduction to Rewind and the aims of the project
• A screening of the documentary
• A discussion and Q&A on the film’s content and the process of making history on film
