Together with Cor Films and Knifedge Production Company we have started the project Still Life, Moving World.

This is a series of short films where artists tell their stories through their photos and objects. The first one is about Geraldine Tracey and her novelty cat Twinkletoes. The film has just won the first person narrative award at the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival.

The aim is that our artists will more become involved in the process of filmmaking and will develop their technical and storytelling skills using stills photography, music and voiceover.

Eventually groups or individuals will make short films on a subject of their choice.

Our artists will learn how to use stills camera and will be present in the edit, making key decisions about the visual and audio content.

They will work with professional filmmakers/photographers who will act as mentors to guide them through the process and help them develop the content. 

Whichever way an artist chooses to develop their newfound skills, through the training and guidance they are given, they will achieve a thorough grounding in the whole film making process.
