An alternative walk to the terminal is a chance to think about air-travel in these changing times. A short video by year 1 coordinator, Stephen Connolly which documents a walk to Hong Kong Airport from the Expo centre on the airport island, by means of slow travel, under makeshift conditions, and without carbon expenditure. The video offers a brief exploration of the materialities and grounded infrastructures of aviation at a moment of pandemic-led change and invites us to look anew at the familiar and banal physical geography of the airport and how we move within it, drawing on Lefebvre’s Production of Space and theories of ‘Spatial Cinema’.

Take part in an inspirational project taking place on Saturday 25th July!
Life in a Day 2020 is a global experiment to capture a single day on earth: a documentary shot by thousands of people around the globe. It’s the sequel to the original Life in a Day, which was filmed in 2010 and has gone on to inspire millions of people. Ten years later, we have the opportunity to capture the world at this extraordinary time, and make a record of our lives right now.
Take part and tell a story about your life and world. The brief is simply: on July 25th, film a day in your life, or that of a subject you find interesting. It could be a typical day, or one in which something special is happening. They’re looking for raw footage, not a finished film.
All participants who have their footage used in the finished documentary will be credited as a co-director. The film will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and to a global audience on YouTube.

Highlighted event of the week: The Future of the Studio Audience Thursday 25 June at 5pm Chaired by Professor Lyndsay Duthie, Head of School UCA Farnham.
As production navigates this ‘new normal’ this session asks what is the future for the studio audience. How do we replace the energy that an audience brings? What will the UK do longer-term across different genres of sport, comedy, gameshows and chat?
https://rts.org.uk/event/future-studio-audience
| Royal Television Society While our favourite television shows have quickly adopted new ways work working, using video chat platforms, adhering to social distancing guidelines and using reduced crews - the studio audience is one area that has not been easily replaced.
