TACT
Initial filming took place in November 2003 and post production on a documentary film is now complete. Each TACT region where filming took place will receive a short promotional video for local use. A programme for media training with staff is being drawn up for at least one of the regions.
The visit to Oban in Argyll to film the work of TACT Scotland revealed inspiring work in a stunning part of Britain.
The richness of footage acquired while filming in the regional operations of TACT ed to a half hour documentary as originally planned. CTVT is planning with the TACT webmaster for streaming media and open access pages for their website.
Future collaborations between TACT and CTVT may include a research project with planned funding from JRF and a filming visit to Serbia and Montenegro where Bob Rhodes, TACT Chief Exectuvie, has come across acutely deprived children's homes. You may remember Romania
Trelya
Through growing connections across West Cornwall, CTVT has come upon a remarkable project from a housing estate in Penzance which led to an exhibition of photographs created by 8-13 year olds. Chris Haydon now proposes to create a film around this project and its young creators to tell their story to a wider audience. They were given disposable cameras and told – ‘Take pictures of things that mean something to you’. The resulting images and their penetrating captions paint a portrait of estate life that no Regeneration report could hope to express with the same power.

"'Kapoor' images come from Tate Modern where we filmed for Southwark.TV ... I love that installation. It was staggering to be in its space. It was vast, sensuous and amazingly organic."
