Re-Starting

Huge apologies for those of you who have been looking for new posts here over the last few weeks. I have been battling against cat dander! I am hoping to get back into the swing of things again soon, so I will be trying to re-start the film exchanges. I have received some new films from Norway and India, which I will try to post soon.

Forgotten Film Stills

I have been organising files and folders today and discovered this set of film stills some of which I believe haven't been posted.

Anya's Animation

Anya has sent another animation from which these stills are taken.

I believe these are the last film stills I have received to date. My next plans include putting the videos onto the Internet, acknowledging all the people who have made films and collecting a few more films by email from some of the artists who weren’t able to get their films sent through their mobile phone networks.

Russian Exchange

Today Maksim sent this photo of me speaking about the project and exchanging films with Russian visitors to Manezh. You can see his photo in the Archive for 27th July. He is a student in St Petersburg and doing a placement in the Manezh over the summer. He helped me during the Festival, setting up and looking after the exhibit.

Back in Shetland

I have just arrived back in Shetland tonight after travelling through London, Newcastle, South Shields and Edinburgh. I have been receiving more films by email and will begin circulating them next week.

Anya's Animation

I met Anya on the last day of the Festival in Manezh. She has just got a place to study animation at the Cinematography Institute in St Petersburg. We swapped films by Bluetooth, and she has sent me another film by email. These stills are from her animation entitled, Alukards Fait!
