Sonia Boyce - Boyce's research interests explore art as a social practice and the critical and contextual debates that arise from this area of study. With an emphasis on collaborative work, Boyce has been working closely with other artists since 1990, often involving improvisation and spontaneous performative actions on the part of her collaborators. Boyce's work involves a variety of media, such as drawing, print, photography, video, and sound. Her art explores the interstices between sound and memory, the dynamics of space, and incorporating the spectator.  // ARCHIVE , MEMORY, TIME, COLLECTIONS “breaking the narrative” - a conversation between two photos.  The first interracial kiss on star trek - positioning of this.

A LIVE BROADCAST // Official Crowdfunding Video from Louis Holder on Vimeo.

This is A LIVE BROADCAST. An absurdist black comedy film from Directed by Mario A.L and students at Westminster Film School.

The story follows Gareth Holland, a young charismatic presenter of a dreadful informercial show who goes through a rough day of shooting. He is then taken aside by his producer who lets him know of a request from the show's sponsors to finally meet him.

The entire team could not be more excited for this daring endeavour, which will involve innovative camera techniques whilst shooting the film on Kodak Super 16mm Motion Picture Film with the ARRIFLEX SR3.

This film is one of eight major dramas made by Second Year Students studying Film BA (Hons) at University of Westminster, an internationally acknowledged course with notable alumni such as Director Asif Kapadia (Senna, Amy), Producer Neal Purvis (Casino Royale, Spectre) and Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey (We Need to Talk About Kevin).

We're a strong and hardworking crew who are looking to raise £1000 in total for our film so we really need your help to ensure our bold story is told.
