Unity film screening with director Q&A Tim Allen
Event Information
About this event
Join us for an evening of film and refreshments for this screening of Unity directed by Tim Allen.
Created at London City Island as part of the Unity Festival 2020, the film uses the intriguing method of 'pixilation' - animating people frame by frame by capturing thousands of photographs.
With a cast made of London City Island residents with no prior experience of animation, this film and Q&A is a truly collaborative and often spontaneous process guided by director & animator Tim Allen. Edit and cinematography by filmmaker Paul Mortimore, produced by Ian Felton, this is the story of the community that came together to tell their tales of separation and unity.
