|
| | | |  | | | | | | | | | The Chronoscope’, directed by Andrew Legge. This 20 minute short is in the form of a faux documentary about a beautiful scientist who invents a machine that can see into the past. The film is narrated by Jeremy Irons.
The judges were impressed with the originality of the story and the wit and inspiration used in it's realisation. “The choice of archive material, the interwoven original material, it's grading and the inclusion of graphics and manipulation of images to create this faux documentary demonstrates that the director is a confident and extremely competent film maker as well as a storyteller to look out for in the future. The supreme irony of the film is that its message is that truth can sometimes ruin a good story. Here a good story is told by the invention of a piece of "missing" history.” Commented Kevin Jackson on behalf of the Jury.
The judges of the Best Short Film competition, were Lisa Barros D’Sa (Co-director ‘Cherrybomb’) Kevin Jackson (producer) and Brian Durnin, Red Rage Films, who directed last year’s winning short ‘Of Best Intentions’.
