Call for Filmmakers - North West Film Archive Residencies

Abandon Normal Devices has hooked up with the North West Film Archive to present a new project, Gleaners.

They are offering two filmmakers an opportunity to spend a month each within the archive, exploring the collection and creating a new work.

Each filmmaker will be matched with a band/musician who will create the film’s soundtrack. The two resulting films will be showcased in a series of live events across the Northwest, starting with Abandon Normal Devices in Manchester in October 2010, with the musicians accompanying the screenings with a live soundtrack.

This project has been enabled by Northwest Vision and Media and the UK Film Council's Digital Film Archive Fund, supported by the National Lottery.
