20 :00 Cobra Mist AAC Cinema [Event:] (^) Short Film [Description:] Cobra Mist (2008) is a seven-minute film by British artist Emily Richardson. It takes as its subject a decommissioned cold war radar station at Orford Ness in Suffolk, which was designed to pick up signals from Eastern Europe. Richardson's film shows this curious space in ruins. It records the physical traces of the site's past, and captures its sinister atmosphere. Cobra Mist is accompanied by sounds recorded at the location by Chris Watson, and the music of Benedict Drew.
