BEN WIGLEY
Broadway based Ben Wigley, the filmmaker behind the award-winning PS Your Mystery Sender and director of production company Artdocs that creates content for the likes of Tate Channel, National Trust and the BBC will join us to tell us about his latest project.
Ben has been selected for the prestigious Documentary Campus Masterschool 2012 to develop his most recent production; a feature-length documentary in development called: 'Paa Joe: Dead Not Buried'. This is a story about a pioneer of the Ghanaian fantasy coffin trade, who seeks international success in the contemporary art world in order to save his livelihood as a coffin maker.
We catch up with Ben at this beginning of his journey, he will be talking about the film, showing us an sneak preview trailer and tell you how you can follow his progress and support the film throughout 2012.
DAVID HAYWARD
David Hayward is big into games; especially the little ones that are playful and made independently. He runs and works on a whole bunch of games events, gatherings and festivals all around the country including @gamecamp, monthly Nottingham event @gamblinglambs and most recently A Bit of Alright in the big smoke.
David will talk about some of his favourite indie games, what is happening in Nottingham in the way of independent games being made on home soil and throughout the night there will be a chance to play this awesome graphicless game Johann Sebastian Joust! by Die Gute Fabrik.
JAMIE RHODES
Jamie Rhodes will be talking about Donkey Stone Films' latest project, The Homeless Film Festival. Homeless people attended filmmaking workshops at Broadway Cinema and created a short film. Their film, along with some of the best films related to homelessness from around the world, will screen at venues nationwide throughout April 2012. Jamie will talk about the work so far, and how you can get involved.
WELLINGTON FILMS
A MAN'S STORY is the fifth feature film from Broadway-based Wellington Films. Their previous work includes the BAFTA-nominated LONDON TO BRIGHTON and Cannes debut BETTER THINGS.
A MAN'S STORY was filmed over 12 years by director Varon Bonicos, unrestrictedly exploring the life and work of British fashion designer and icon Ozwald Boateng - the youngest and first black tailor to open a shop on Savile Row. The film is studded with a whole host of celebrities, with whom Ozwald has worked, including Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, Laurence Fishburne, Paul Bettany and Prince Charles. Producer Al Clark will give us a preview of the trailer and tell the story of how to find the story from over 500 hours of footage.
It will be screened at Broadway on Saturday March 24th for one night only with a Q&A with the director and producers.
SNEINTON MARKET
Many people in Nottingham have strong memories of place associated with Sneinton Market, and it has been a destination ‘down Hockley’ for 160 years. A social company since 2008, the Directors have spent many hours in meetings with consultants and the City Council to design its future.
Running an outdoor market has been a steep learning curve, and early Saturday starts have put off many aspiring volunteers! But Sneinton Market belongs to several different communities. At ‘Show and Tell’, Wendy Honeyman-Smith, one of the community of directors will talk about a few wares that tell the story of Sneinton Market’s future, and open up a space for others to get involved in supporting the future of the market.
SMALL SCREENS
MARTYN WEST - A WALK THROUGH TIME
Shot on mobile phone this film captures a year in the walking life of sonic artist Martyn West. The film looks to the ground and Martynt's feet turning the earth through changing textures, terrains and seasons. West's composed soundtrack of sythesisers and old tape echo machines attempts to capture the changing landscapes, pace and tempo of regular walking.
Soon after starting work on this project Martyn was diagnosed with prostrate cancer and underwent surgery three times during the year. The film has become a video/musical diary of his emotional journey and recovery; it also proved to be an invaluable preoccupation that helped get him through a difficult year.
