It's been sometime since we posted much to our page, but this grabbed our interests. It is a part of a series of pocket-size dox about creativity (and industrial) folk in our amidst who have made a major contribution to our cultural identity. Here we meet Australian screen editor Jill Bilcock who has a deep and abiding fascination in images. A great documentary to check out.
ABC iview : Creatives: Jill Bilcock Focuses on the life of Jill Bilcock, one of the world's leading film artists and Academy award nominated film editor. Features commentary from Cate Blanchett, Baz Luhrmann and Rachel Griffiths.
The third London Labour Film Festival will screen a selection of labour-related shorts throughout the film festival which takes place next month.
These short films will be screened between the feature length films.
We would like to invite you to be part of this.
We are asking people to submit short films to the festival.
The films and videos submitted can be made in the UK or anywhere in the world.
The films will be labour-related, they can be about any and every aspect of work, as well as those issues affecting unionised workers and those not represented by unions.
The selected (winners) will be chosen by a global panel of judges and shown as part of the festival.
The shorts selection competition is open to anybody. The purpose of the contest is to discover the hard work of filmmakers whose voices have yet to be heard.
The winners selected to be screened will be determined by a global panel of judges.
