If you’re unfamiliar with the term
rephotography, it involves the process of reshooting old photos, as accurately as possible, from their same vantage point and scope in the present day. This can prove complicated to achieve, especially when it comes to older photographs, as places can change dramatically over time, which can make it exceedingly challenging to find the exact spot where someone captured an image many decades, or even a century or more earlier. Social media has produced a lot of great work on the ‘Then and Now’ subject, often portraying locations of WWII battles or other historic events. That being said, photographer Richard Paver has taken this art to whole new level, by incorporating warbirds overflying historically significant locations in Royal Air Force history.
A documentary about the everyday lives of women on a halting site, an animated film about life, death and rebirth, and a dark comedy about bereavement, have been chosen as the successful applicants for Screen Wexford’s ‘Short Film Fund Initiative’.
The three projects, all featuring local filmmakers, will now receive €2,500 in funding for production costs, as well as equipment support from lighting company Teach Solas to the value of €1,500, and a professional mentor to support them throughout the process.
The fund is an initiative of Wexford County Council’s Arts Office in conjunction with Bodecii Film and is run by Screen Wexford, the county’s agency for promoting Film and TV production and training.
