DO YOU WANT TO BE IN A FILM?


We are seeking a broad spectrum of local involvement in an innovative community film project. This is an opportunity for local community groups and individuals to star in a 35mm short film.

Award winning filmmakers Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor in partnership with Birmingham City Council aim to create a spectacular short film in Handsworth Park on October 28th.

This community film will use the rigorous methodologies employed in the filmmakers highly acclaimed and award winning series of short films, ‘Civic Life’. This highly ambitious film called JOY (working title) will allow for a unique and visually stunning portrait of the park and the community’s that use it or could use it.

JOY is a work of fiction and will bare the hallmarks of lyricism and accessibility that distinguishes the films of Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor, making extensive use of their trademark 35mm long takes. The resulting film will be a truly world class project that will have the ability to attract local, national and international attention.

Shooting will take place on October 28th for one day only. The final film aims to be ready for screening in March 2008 at one of the city centers multiplexes (previously the film makers have had their films shown at AMC Broadway cinema, Birmingham).

If you or someone you know is interested in being involved please contact the arts section on the number below and leave you details.
