The Pérez de Ayala Annual Lecture
The Guernica Children in Britain
A case study of humanitarian need versus perceived political expediency

given by Steve Bowles, film maker

Monday 21 May 2007
5:30pm refreshments; 6:00pm lecture
Avenue Campus, University of Southampton

Established with the generous support of the Cultural Office of the Spanish Embassy in recognition of the Spanish writer Ramón Pérez de Ayala, over the years the Pérez de Ayala Annual Lecture has welcomed a host of distinguished speakers to present at both the University of Southampton and the University of Portsmouth.

This year, Modern Languages in Southampton's School of Humanities is delighted to introduce award-winning Southampton-based film maker Steve Bowles. Director of Southampton film and media charity 'City Eye' and graduate of the University of Southampton , Steve produced and directed the epic documentary film The Children of Guernica, most recently shown on BBC4 to coincide with the eve of the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Guernica .

On 26th April 1937 the small Basque town of Guernica was bombed mercilessly by German planes supporting Franco's army during Spain 's bloody Civil War. The event would later be commemorated by Picasso's famous painting but the events at Guernica led directly to the arrival of four thousand Spanish children in Britain - the largest single influx of refugees ever to arrive in this country and the first to consist solely of children. The British Government did not want them here and it was only the pressure of public opinion that forced it, grudgingly, to allow the children to come.

On the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Guernica , we hear the remarkable story of the Basque children - of those who returned to Spain and those who made Britain their home. It is the story of a remarkable grass-roots organisation that cared for the children, and the conflict that this situation generated with a British Government that saw the children as a political embarrassment.

Co-operative Young Film-Makers - Update
Call For Entries - Closing date 6th July 2007
Film Festival - Fri 12th and Sat 13th October 2007

This year's Co-operative Young Film-Makers takes place on Friday 12 and Saturday 13 October, and the closing date for entries is 29 June.

Each year Co-operative Young Film-Makers holds a festival at the National Media Museum in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Over 100 short films made by children and young people are premiered in front of an audience of up to 300 people in the big-screen cinema.

This is one of the UK's leading film festivals for young people. It is run and funded by the Co-operative Group and is non-competitve and not for profit.

The festival offers young people the opportunity to receive feedback and advice on their work from film professionals, and participants can attend a wide range of events designed to inspire and encourage their film-making ambitions.

According to Edgar Wright, Director of hit films 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz', Co-operative Young Film-Makers is a fantastic opportunity for any young film-maker.

"First and foremost you get to see your work on the big screen. I saw all of my early shorts in front of packed houses at the National Media Museum. It was great and inspired me ever onward."

The festival is an excellent opportunity for budding film-makers to learn new skills, try out equipment, chat to experts, network and swap ideas.

Award winning Southampton-based film maker Steve Bowles' epic documentary

THE GUERNICA CHILDREN Wednesday, 25 APRIL – 23.00-23.40 BBCFOUR

Seventy years ago four thousand Basque children were evacuated to Southampton in the wake of the bombing of Guernica during Spain 's bloody civil war. With no help from the government of the time, local people in southern Hampshire organized accommodation, food and clothes for the refugees.

Five years in the making - the film tells their extraordinary story with eye witness accounts, previously un-screened archive film and dramatic reconstructions.

Following its broadcast on 25 April there will be a screening in May for all the Guernica Children and their families who are coming from all over the world to attend a n e vent at Southampton Solent University . This event will also provide an opportunity for the unveiling of a commemorative plaque at Southampton ’s Civic Centre.

In June, Southampton ’s Harbour Lights Picture House will be hosting the cinematic premiere of the film. Free tickets will be available from Southampton City Council Arts Development Officer, Christine Rawnsley , on 023 8083 2730.

Steve Bowles, a director of Southampton film and media charity City Eye, said

"This story started in Southampton with the arrival of children from the Basque region 70 years ago, and it is fitting that the film should have its first public screenings here where the story began.

The project has drawn on the skills and support of many local people, as performers, technicians and local expertise, including magnificent support form Southampton City Council's Oral History Unit.

This is a great example of collaborative film making at its best."

City Eye congratulates Steve on his achievement with this film and is delighted to offered continued support of his work and its screening.

Local Filmmakers Rise to the Challenge - PSYCHIC SPIES
Local filmmakers have got together to make a short film inspired by the story of Helen Duncan, a Scottish housewife and noted medium, who was arrested in Portsmouth for witchcraft during World War 2.
Writer and producer Roy Hanney says. “The story picks up after the war and tells the story of how Prudence, a middle aged psychic, is drawn into the world of cold war spies when she is recruited to find a missing secret agent. Accompanied by her spirit guide she enters the shadowy world of a master spy. Believing he is in control of the situation, it becomes apparent that the world of the spirits has a different story to tell.”
The action is all being shot at Fort Widley on Portsdown Hill, thanks to generous support for the film from the Peter Ashley Activity Centre. “An example of the great potential for locations around Portsmouth.” Roy adds as a note.

The idea came about after a chance meeting in the offices of Southampton Media agency City Eye and the idea grew into a film. Having worked with City Eye on the production of his last short “The Collector”, Director Lorne Guy was on the hunt for a project and saw the potential in the script right away.
Roy agrees that the City Eye connection has been important as has meeting Production Manager Chris McDermott who feels the film should be a catalyst. “It’s like a challenge to other filmmakers to get out and just make a film,” says Chris, who has a long history in Portsmouth having spent twenty years in the Navy before working as a professional filmmaker. He believes there is a lot of local talent around, while many of the local film and TV professionals have to go to London to work. He adds, “We want to say, come to Portsmouth to shoot your films”.

Pointing out film and TV costume hire business Sabre Sales in Castle Street as an example, Art Director Gez Stevens lists all the benefits of shooting in Pompey, “It’s all here, you can just get on with it”.
Aimed at short film festivals and DVD compilations, the film should be on your screens soon. Roy hopes to arrange a premier at the Churchillian on Portsdown Hill. “They have been so supportive and are providing all of the catering, so it would be nice to give them a party in return”.
Watch this space.

Production stills are available on request from Monday 19th March.

Portsmouth filmmaker looking for assistance

Roger Goldsmith- Biography.

I am a 'new writer' in my middle age, having given up engineering to write and make films. I recently won the first prize for medium length plays in the Margaret Langford playwriting competition. During May and June this year I attended a film school at Ealing studios, where I made my first short, a three-hander comedy entitled 'Helping'. Whilst my main interest is writing screenplays for TV and film, a number of which I am trying to find funding for currently, I have the desire to make a number of short films myself. The two projects listed below are my two projects for next year, whilst developing further screenplays.

'Speechless'
I plan to make 'Speechless' in Portsmouth, next spring. A short film (10 mins max.) telling the story of a stammering schoolboy, bullied by one of his classmates. I have contacted local schools, and will be developing contacts with them post the summer holidays. I anticipate that the shoot will be 2/3 days maximum. The locations will be inside the school, the playground and external areas, in a chauffer driven car, and the interior of a house. I am looking for a DOP and sound recordist for the shoot, and a Runner. I do not have any equipment, and will therefore require the crew to provide kit. I would like to film on DVD HD.


'Wedding Shots'
The same requirement for a crew applies to 'Wedding Shots', another short film I plan to make next spring. 10-12 minutes in length, the film comprises of two scenes, a wedding reception scene (a pub room will facilitate) and a suburban house. The film tells the story of secrets uncovered by a Mother about her new daughter-in-law, when she plays back a camcorder inadvertently left on during the wedding reception. The location of this film I have yet to establish. It could be shot in Portsmouth, but could equally be shot in London.

Roger can be contacted via email: roger.goldsmith@ntlworld.com

JOHN HANSARD GALLERY HOSTS RISING INTERNATIONAL STAR OF VIDEO ART

Ergin Çavuþoðlu: Point of Departure

John Hansard Gallery
4 May – 17 June 2006
ADMISSION FREE

Mesmerising, elegiac journeys: Ergin Çavuþoðlu’s film installations transform the gallery experience into something immersive and compelling.

Raised in Bulgaria as part of the Turkish minority and now based in London, Çavuþoðlu combines multiple projections and viewpoints, filmed in diverse, often marginalised locations. More ‘poetic description’ than documentary, these works reflect upon shifts in the global geopolitical order, often drawing upon the artist’s own personal experience of migration.

The exhibition features two new works - Point of Departure and Adrift. Point of Departure was filmed in both Stansted Airport and Trabzon Airport, Turkey, and contrasts the experience of transit and travel through the perspectives of two characters. Weaving together footage from both, he allows us to look again at the apparently ‘everyday’ act of crossing frontier points: these ‘non-places’ become strange, beautiful and unsettling.

Adrift provides a counter-point to Point of Departure's linear storyline. Intertwining footage shot across Europe and the United States, projected images cut between cities and seascapes, where disparate characters drift into apparently endless journeys. Intense and rhythmical, the work probes the history of migration, forced or otherwise.

For further details about the exhibition, visit www.hansardgallery.org.uk/exhibition/current.html
Find out more about the artist at: www.ergincavusoglu.co.uk

PRIVATE VIEW:
Wednesday 3 May, 6.00-7.30pm
Join us for a free glass of wine and a chance explore the show. All welcome.

Point of Departure is co-commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella and Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art. Supported by Arts Council England and The Henry Moore Foundation with additional thanks to Haunch of Venison.

Innovative job share scheme launched for women in film

LONDON: A groundbreaking initiative to help women film practitioners returning to work was announced today by Skillset, Sector Skills Council. Timeshift will provide job sharing roles on film productions for teams of eight women with an allowance paid towards child care cost in addition to their salaries. The unique scheme is a part of A Bigger Future, the UK Film Skills Strategy, a five year joint initiative by Skillset and UK Film Council, funded by lottery money and industry investment, to address creative and skills development within the film industry.

Judy Counihan, Director of Film at Skillset, said:

“Timeshift is a landmark scheme set to break the mould in film production. Skillset’s research shows that women are under-represented in the production world, especially older women. And we all know the difficulties in juggling career and family responsibilities but this is especially true for women working in film where the freelance working patterns and irregular hours can make it impossible. This scheme will help female talent fulfil their potential and help the industry hang on to the experienced and skilled practitioners it needs to go forward.”

Skillset’s and the UK Film Council’s 2005 Feature Film Production Workforce Survey found that women make up 33% of the workforce. 35% of women earn less than £20,000pa compared to 18% of men. In the higher salary brackets 30% of men earn £50k+ compared with 16% of women. This is despite women being more likely to be qualified to graduate level than men (60% compared with 39%). There were almost no women in the camera, sound, electrical and construction departments while the majority of those working in make-up and hairdressing were women.

Candidates for Timeshift should have a minimum of 3 years working experience and must apply in teams of two in the following grades:

· Production Accountants;

· Assistant Production Accountants;

· Production Coordinators;

· Boom Operators;

· Production Design Assistants;

· Costume Assistants;

· Art Department Assistants;

· Prop Buyers;

· Locations Assistants;

· 3rd AD’s;

· Assistant Editors.

For further information and to download an application form please visit: www.skillset.org/timeshift or contact Arit Eminue on arite@skillset.org

Timeshift is backed by the European Social Fund Equal Programme.

A Bigger Future addresses the skills development of all jobs across film from script development through to exhibition (screening films in cinemas), covering both new entrants and professional development for the existing workforce.

THE GUERNICA CHILDREN
BBC SOUTH INSIDE OUT

26 September 2005. 7.30 BBC1
Director/Producer - Steve Bowles

In May of 1937 two young sisters - Carmen and Josefina - boarded a ship in Bilbao destined for Southampton. They were amongst four thousand other Basque children who were fleeing the horrors of the Spanish Civil War. It was, to this day, the largest single influx of refugees ever to arrive in this country and the first to consist solely of children.

The British Government did not want them here but in the wake of the bombing of Guernica it was forced to yield to public opinion and allow them to come, on the condition that no public finance would ever be made available to support them. With the Government refusing to help in any way, it was left to an enormous voluntary organization to look after the refugee children.

Like most of the refugees, the two sisters expected their stay to be brief. But the Civil War dragged on. When the war did finally end there was practically nothing to go back to and Britain was to become home for the rest of their lives.

Nearly seventy years on, Carmen and Josefina who made their homes here in the south, relect on an extraordinary chapter in history and pay thanks to the ordinary people that helped to care for The Guernica Children.

The Guernica Children scores big hit for BBC4.

The Guernica Children - a documentary film which tells the story of the Basque refugee children who were brought to Britain in 1937 to escape the horrors of the Spanish Civil War - was broadcast for the first time on BBC4 on April 24 to great acclaim.

The film was viewed by 140,000 people on its first showing - which represents a 1% market share - an exceptionally high figure for a documentary aired on a digital platform.

The Radio Times selected the documentary as one of its choices for the day and The Times described it as an 'extraordinary film'.

The project was seed-funded by Screen South in order to produce a promo which Director/Producer Steve Bowles of Eye Witness Productions Ltd. took to the major broadcasters. Screen South's regional partner, City Eye, also supported the production of the film.



THE GUERNICA CHILDREN

SUNDAY 24 APRIL
10pm - 10.40pm
BBC FOUR

Director/Producer - Steve Bowles

On 26th April 1937 the small Basque towm of Guernica was bombed mercilessly by German planes supporting Franco's army during Spain's bloody Civil War. The event would later be commemorated by Picasso's famous painting but the events at Guernica led directly to the arrival of four thousand Spanish children in Britain - the largest single influx of refugees ever to arrive in this country and the first to consist solely of children. The British Government did not want them here and it was only the pressure of public opinion that forced it, grudgingly, to allow the children to come.

The children expected their stay to be brief, but the Civil War dragged on. Throughout their time in Britain, they were cared for, fed and housed by the efforts of a vast voluntary organization - an extraordinary display of selfless humanitarianism. By the end of the Spanish Civil War many of the children had literally nothing and nobody to go back to and remained in Britain for a life time.

This is the remarkable story of the Basque children - of those that returned to Spain and those that made Britain their home. It is the story of a remarkable grass-roots organization that cared for the children and the conflict that generated with a British Government that saw the children as a political embarrassment.

Four years research in both Britain and Spain has gone in to piecing together this extraordinary historical episode. Eye witness accounts are mixed with expert analysis, dramatic reconstruction and previously un-screened archive footage to tell, for the first time, the story of The Guernica Children.
