EXPOSURES
Our popular annual film festival for students - from school pupils to post graduates. It promotes and encourages filmmaking through competitive screenings, career guidance, industry events (e.g. film funding), and masterclasses. Competition winners have not only won filmmaking equipment, paid placements and a distribution deal but have found the festival accolade has led to employment, film funding, and further festival prizes at national festivals. Find out more on the exposures website.
underexposed is a day dedicated to young people’s filmmaking and is part of exposures: new talent in moving image festival. The most recent edition of underexposed in 2008 saw the LiveWire Management Team select a diverse range of films made by talented youngsters – actors, directors, editors, sound and camera crews. Themes ranged from real life dilemmas to film noir and there was even some inspiring claymation. For the first time ever we also screened experimental shorts with live accompaniment and Mark Radcliffe came to present two awards. Read more about the day here!
underexposed is taking a break for the 2009 edition of exposures: new talent in moving image due to lack of funding, but we hope to welcome its return in 2010.
