2007
The studio is embarking upon several new projects starting December 07 - until Spring 2008.
These include:
2 short films with MediaBox;
A MediaAction residency with partner V;
A multidisciplinary installation working with the Fra Newbery Trail and Bridport Arts Centre;
An interactive investigation of the Bridport Museum archive.
Between January and March 2007 we completed three new short films working with young people representative of travelling communities in Dorset and in partnership with the Travellers' Education Unit. Working with New Age Travellers, Ferndown Upper School and families from Jay Miller's Circus, we have completed a documentary about life on the road, a drama about prejudice and bullying and a ghost story.
Sally Rawles (Dorset Traveller Education Support Service) said of these films “They are extraordinary and unique, and are tipped to win awards in the next round of film festivals. They will be available to all via the internet, but would be a fantastic resource for schools wishing to explore diversity issues. Dorset TES are planning to produce support materials to accompany these films.”
