The 4docs "Its Good To Know..." competition has some really interesting entries. I hope to be recommending some as I catch up with watching many of the entries.
Here's one by a friend for now, Dylan Howitt's wonderful "Bicycle Revolutionary" about amazing cyclist Estelle and her passion for cycling. This was made using only one reel of Super 8 footage as as part of the "Attack of the 50 foot reels" project and shown at the Sheffield DocFest 2009. The soundtrack has a very "Motorcycle Diaries" quality about it too!

Just as I start writing a blog I am expecting someone to announce that 'writing blogs is so 2005'!! And that'll be the end of blogs...
Oh well, it takes time to catch up with new ideas and technology sometimes. I am always struck by the explanation for jet-lag that the human spirit is simply not designed for trans-atlantic jet travel and the feeling that jet-lag gives you is actually the time it takes for your soul to catch-up with where you are in the world! Well, for me my soul is catching up slowly.....it took me a while to appreciate that digital technology for filmmakers is truly liberating, the magic of celluloid film will never be lost, but the ability to make filmmaking truly accessible, cut costs and reach global audiences that digital technology gives us is truly revolutionary.
