Southampton’s rich and vibrant arts and heritage scene is the subject of a new series of short films that will be premiered at the Ejector Seat Festival this Saturday, 4 June.
Zemedia’s Tim O’Riordan has worked with students at the University of Southampton over the past few months to guide them through the making of short films focusing on the arts and heritage in Southampton. There’s a lot going on in the arts scene in the city, but we rarely get to see it on screen, and this was a great opportunity for students to link up with local people and develop their documentary film making skills.
The results are very impressive. The John Hansard Gallery’s recent Warhol exhibition, how the Titanic disaster affected the city, and creative goings-on at a local print workshop are just some of the subjects explored by the students.
The films will be premiered at the Ejector Seat Festival at Palmerston Park, Southampton, at 6pm on Saturday 4 June. Follow on Twitter at www.twitter.com/southamptondocs.
