Shelly Love
In the next few days UK director and filmmaker Shelly Love will begin a 5-week residency in Manchester as part of a new work for the Big Screen network in a co-commission with moves09 and Sadler’s Wells Theatre, where it will premiere upon the latter’s Polyvision screen (which hangs behind the glass facade at the front of the building and can be seen simultaneously from both the street and the foyer) before touring the UK. With the working title of A Moving Portrait, Shelly will be receiving additional support from Futureworks college in Manchester.
Having directed promos for Turin Breaks, Skin, Charlotte Hatherley, Mark Brown feat. Sarah Cracknell, Fionn Regan and others, it would be fair to say I am more than a little excited. The image above is taken from her latest work, The Forgotten Circus, commissioned by circus training school Circus Space and Arts Council England, accompanied by a lush score from The Irrepressibles.
