A series of short presentations and discussions for aspiring artists and filmmakers who want to hear from professionals working with the moving image.

We are joined by artist-filmmaker Phillip Warnell, who is currently developing a new artists’ feature film with London-based production company Fly Film, artist Alice Theobald whose new collaborative commission is on show at the Baltic Gallery in Gateshead and film director Ninian Doff who is represented by Pulse Film and whose most recent music video credits include Miike Snow and Chemical Brothers.

In this session we will discuss each of their creative practice focusing on the development of their ideas and creative treatments encouraging the audience to play an active role in the discussion.
