As part of The W Project, The Firm Cinema is proud to present two award winning films followed by an equally provocative Q&A hosted by The Edge Picture Company.
Stanley Pickle (2010) short animated film directed by Victoria Mather.
Winner of the McLaren Award for New British Animation at Edinburgh Festival 2010
Stanley never goes outside. He likes to play with his clockwork toys and every night his mother kisses him goodnight. Stanley is twenty. The trouble is that Stanley thinks this is all quite normal, until an encounter with a mysterious girl turns his world upside down… Using original animation techniques, actors are animated. Stanley Pickle was shot frame by frame on two sets and two locations, using a stills camera.
Sisters In Law (2005) a film by Kim Longinotto
Winner of the Prix Art et Essai at the Cannes Film Festival.
Set in Kumba, Longinotto and her hand held camera travel to a small village in Cameroon. Sisters In Law explores the stories of mistreated women who turn to Vera Ngassa a local state prosecutor that runs her office with wit, warmth and common sense. Between the hardship there is optimism, especially when they see the strength and power gained for standing up for their rights.
Q&A – Why are there so few female film-makers?
Panel hosted by The Edge Picture Company.
Featuring Producer/Director Norma Gaunt, Film Makers Vicky Mathers and Grace Ladoja and Producer Hazel Falck.
