For people who like making movies
Gloucester Film Makers -
On May 13th we had a very interesting and informative evening when Gordon Young, a member of Bristol Film and Video Society, showed us some of his excellent films mainly on a Bristol theme.
They included the building of the suspension bridge, the Avon Gorge and part of his A to Z film of the city.
Gordon outlined his procedures prior to the start of the actual filming which included a detailed study of his subject and many other matters.
His film about Venice was an extra bonus to the evening.
On June 3rd a Documentary Film Competition was held, and 4 films were entered.
Congratulations to Paula Clare and her husband Derek for their award winning film entitled Easter Week Part 1. This was a well researched presentation which looked into the events preceding Easter.
It questioned conventional thinking about the actual timing. A thought provoking film.
We have 3 more competitions to complete our programme.
September 2nd, the Langwood Trophy will be awarded to the winner of the best Wildlife film.
On that same evening we have the Film to music, or to a poem Competition. This for the Weston Trophy.
Last, but by no means least, we have the Ron Turner Trophy.
This for films with a Gloucester/Gloucestershire theme, maximum 10 minutes.
Ron was a well known figure in Gloucester where he filmed in cine with his 8 mm camera for many years.
Sadly, and tragically he died as a result of a fire in his home.
Some of his cine film was found and donated to our club and now forms a part of our archive collection.
Thus the competition on November 4th, remembers Ron and his link to the club.
