Pembe Ay (Pink Moon)

During the Pink Moon season - which sees rebirth after winter - Meray leaves Scotland and revisits her childhood home to be with her father, and work through their garden, as it blossoms on the politically and physically divided island of Cyprus. While this once gave her nightmares of the conflict, Meray now finds this ignites her conversations with her father. The filmmaker digs into the intergenerational trauma, and how the conflict, opposing views to her father, and restrictions in north Cyprus affected her migration.

Calling all armature designers!

We’re looking for someone to design an armature of two life size hands for an upcoming documentary by Steven Fraser.

The hands will be animated using stop-motion animation and will be using an iPhone for the duration of the animation.

The right hand will hold the phone and the other will press and swipe it (as how people use a smart phone).

If you’re interested, get in touch via our DMs or email [email protected].
