Brian will give us a sneak preview of his most recent feature documentary, A Pandemic Poem: WHERE DID THE WORLD GO?, a collaboration with poet laureate Simon Armitage. Brian shot parts of it with his own smartphone. Brian will discuss how smartphones can be a disruptive and enabling force for all filmmakers working with or without a budget.
Brian Hill works in both documentary and drama, and sometimes in a hybrid space between them, as in films like Feltham Sings, Drinking For England and Songbirds. He has won three BAFTAs and been nominated seven times. In 2015 Bertha Dochouse showed a week long retrospective of his work. His most recent output includes Unprecedented, a series of 14 short dramas for the BBC about living in isolation during the pandemic. Actors in that included Gemma Arterton, Lenny James, Rory Kinnear, Paterson Joseph and Geraldine James.
