Artists for Tomorrow: 2: Film Makers
Many countries all over the world have set up film schools closely tied to their own national film industries. Britain has no such scheme, and nothing practical has come of the Lloyd Report's recommendations for a National Film School. Meanwhile schools and film departments of Art Colleges have sprung up, and the people running them have ideas which go far beyond the Report's recommendations. How in their view should a National Film School work? What are they teaching their present students?
Grant North
The Aldeburgh Festival opens today with a new construction unveiled where the Henry Moore used to stand. It is the work of Keith Grant, a young Liverpool artist who finds his subject-matter in the far northern landscape. Commissioned by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears, this huge kinetic art work is part telescope, part satellite, and part landscape painting. It is called Earth Space and Time: The North. Release follows Grant to the land of the midnight sun, traces the development of his theme, and sees the final construction installed beside The Maltings.
