Cornwall Media Focus November events in St Ives and Falmouth Articles / Film Fund News Posted by Admin on Nov 07, 2005 - 04:08 PM Tate St Ives on the 11th, and Cornwall Film Festival on the 20th. MEET THE TALENT Friday, 11th November, 6.30 to 9 pm Venue: The Tate, St Ives You’d be amazed how many highly talented, highly experienced media (film, TV, video, new media) practitioners there are based in Cornwall. Some work here and some work nationally and internationally. You’d be even more surprised at how little we all know about what these practitioners are up to and believe me, some of them are up to really exciting things. This event will hopefully be the first of a regular opportunity to come and meet some of the Industry’s top practitioners, see their showreels and listen to their views on living and working in Cornwall and then get a chance to talk to them in informal discussion. The Launch Event’s speakers will include (more to come): Morgan Francis – An Animator and Co-Director of SpiderEye. Based in St Just, SpiderEye specialise in 2D and 3D animation. Their films include: War Game; Jester Till; A Small Miracle; Cheeky; Father & Daughter and The Squire's Tale.
