James Ravilious; a world in photographs

09 09 2010 08:15:00 +0000

Movie Title: James Ravilious; a world in photographs

Movie Language: English

Movie Length: 30 mins

Movie Synopsis:
One of Britain’s greatest yet unknown postwar documentary photographers dedicated his art to a rural English world in steady decline. What started as a short-term project grew into a seventeen year obsession. In that time James Ravillious took over 80,000 black and white images of all aspects of local life: landscape, farming, everyday life in the local towns and villages, and their special occasions. He also borrowed and copied over 5,000 early photographs of the same area. His pictures reveal real life as it was being lived in late 20th century rural England when the country traditions that have been handed down for hundreds of years were still part of everyday existence. The resulting historical span, and detail, he gave to the Archive makes it probably the most intensive record of any rural area in England. This film returns to key characters photographed by James Ravilious unfolding different aspects of the man and offereing a nostalgia-free reflection on how life has changed.

Us Now - documentary

13 11 2009 11:39:10 +0000

Movie Title: Us Now - documentary

Movie Language: English

Movie Length: 60 minutes

Movie Synopsis:
US NOW "An important and provocative film that people who believe in democracy need to watch" - Don Tapscott (Wikinomics) In his student flat in Colchester, Jack Howe is staring intently into his computer screen. He is picking the team for Ebbsfleet United's FA Trophy Semi-Final match against Aldershot . Around the world 35,000 other fans are doing the same thing, because together, they own and manage the football club. Where once networks were face-to-face, the web has changed forever the way we all connect. If distributed networks of people can run complex organisations such as football clubs, what else can they do? Us Now, Ivo Gormley’s timely documentary, takes a look at how this type of participation could transform the way that countries are governed. It tells the stories of the online networks whose radical self-organising structures threaten to change the fabric of government forever in his own words ‘sparking the greatest social change since the invention of the printing press’.
