2009 Awards

"For the past three years artists have produced the awards for Two Short Nights Film Festival, and each year we've been thrilled by the results of their work. This year, Bristol-based artist Frances Davidson's response to the brief is certainly no exception. These amazing awards consist of a glass dome fixed onto a cast resin base resulting in what is in effect a giant snow globe. Inside the dome of each award is an individually hand-crafted miniature model of a filmmaking icon. The chosen icons include a megaphone, an old film camera, a directors chair, a film reel complete with miniature film of Eadweard Muybridge's study of a man walking and a clapper board containing details of an obscure 1960's porn film. As if this wasn't adequate the artist has finished each piece off by including inside them, along with the traditional glitter and stars, several individually cast pieces of resin popcorn and on the base a handle that when turned play Lara's Theme from Dr Zhivago. Thank you Frances for such an amazing contribution."
