Next Article | Contents


Work by University of Sussex film-makers will be showcased this month as part of the first documentary film festival to be held in Brighton. See, described as an event "by film-makers for film-makers", takes place at the Sussex Arts Club on 19 and 20 November.

A key part of the second day will be the screening of seven short documentaries made by Sussex students, followed by a panel discussion about them.

Three of the films will be of particular interest to local residents.

Tickets are free from the Brighton Dome, but you do have to get up for 10am on a Sunday morning.

If you're a bit more of a late riser (12.15pm), you might prefer to see Lizzie Thynne's biographical film about the surrealist photographer, Claude Cahun. Lizzie, a Senior Lecturer in Media and Film Studies, tells the story of Claude and her lover, Marcel Moore, who carried out an ingenious campaign against the Nazi occupation of Jersey before they were arrested and condemned to death.

The Second World War also features in a DVD by Stephanie Wong, a postgraduate on the MA in Digital Media. Her interactive project explores the work of former model Lee Miller as a war photographer during the liberation of St Malo in 1945. Echoes of Lee Miller: St. Malo will be showing free of charge from 2.30pm.

For the full programme, see www.seefestival.org. But make sure you see the films by Sussex students and staff.
