His choice / zijn keuze:
- Bright Brass by Rachel Corner and Laurens Nijzink
This one for its note-perfect production. http://vimeo.com/16083687
- Blindsight by Emily Macinnes
A lovely, powerful and thought provoking insight into one man’s journey into blindness. Sent to Benjamin by Emily Macinnes, a young photography student at Nottingham Trent University, who came to the duckrabbit/rhubarb training at this year’s Format festival. Remember that name, Emily Macinnes – she is going to be a great filmmaker. http://vimeo.com/18558353
- Hungry: Living with Prader-Willi Syndrome by Maisie Crow
Could this story be told anymore perfectly? Hard to imagine even an hour doucmentary having the same impact. http://vimeo.com/5717103
