FILMMAKERS
Writer/Director: Terence Davies, originally from Liverpool, now living in Essex
Producers: Sol Papadopoulos and Roy Boulter of Liverpool
Digital Departures judge Steve Jenkins, Head of Films at BBC Programme Acquisitions, says:
“Terence Davies' poetic documentary project offered a great opportunity to fund a new film by one of the UK's few world-class directors. Films like Distant Voices, Still Lives and The Long Day Closes had the city, culture and people of Liverpool at their very heart. The idea of the film-maker revisiting the past, both his own and Liverpool's, but within the context of how the city has changed over the last half-century, seemed absolutely tailor-made for the Digital Departures scheme.”
