So many interesting thoughts from Amartey Golding about moving between materials as an artist and the creative process in general. As ever, a lot of nuggets left on the proverbial cutting room floor… this new shoot and edit out for @FabricaGallery youtu.be/a24OyAKy7hE

With storms lashing the windows today, it’s a tonic looking back at this shoot with winemaker Salvatore Leone at the beautiful @oxneyestate. From a series of shorts I directed over @SussexModern exploring the work of local makers and creators. youtube.com/watch?v=CfLEUfIA…

@ben__harding Nice to see!
This 16th century Japanese tea bowl might not look like much, but to @doctorjamesfox it is a revelation which makes him appreciate the simpler things in life. Watch the entire series of The Art of Japanese Life now on @BBCiPlayer bbc.in/3gtLaTi
New film up over @FabricaGallery for the launch of @Vanessadaws beautiful film At Home In The Water. It's an immersive film installation which offers an insight into long-distance swimming, alongside material about Brighton’s swimming heritage. youtube.com/watch?v=i1YymbVe…

A craft brewery with chickens, what's not to like? Ned Braxton over @BREWINGBROTHERH talks beer and gardens. Part of a series of shorts I directed over @sussexmodern exploring the work of local makers and creators. youtube.com/watch?v=janGGV_M… Thanks @ben__harding for the edit.

There's the old quote about writing about music being like dancing about architecture. In this case mixing poetry and architecture seemed to work nicely with the brilliant Raymond Antrobus. Great to see this edit for @FCBStudios get nominated at the @ArchibooLive awards.
We are very proud that our recent film about @warwickuni Faculty of Arts has been shortlisted for Best Use of Video at the @ArchibooLive awards youtube.com/watch?v=v2klxd2b…

One of those moment filming where you'd rather drop the camera and get making... Next in a series of films about local makers and creators I shot and directed for @SussexModern with Carla Wright from Common Clay. youtube.com/watch?v=f53RAViV… Big editing hat tip to @ben__harding
Beautiful fabrics, wildflowers and chalk cliffs. A new series of films looking at local makers and creators I shot & directed for @SussexModern is out. First up is Ellen Brookes from @SIDELINE_WW. youtube.com/watch?v=jZ2EeR25… Many thanks to @ben__harding for the edit.
Well worth catching this blast of colour and form from Lakwena Maciver this weekend. So lovely to interview too for @_art_on_sea and long film watchable here: vimeo.com/728154215
LAST CHANCE TO SEE one of our most colourful exhibitions Lakwena Maciver: Jump before it closes on Sunday 25 September. Lakwena Maciver: Jump paintings feature abstract portraits of some of the most inspiring Basketball Players both past and present. hastingscontemporary.org/exh…

Possibly the perfect illustration of Picasso's famous 'good artists copy, great artists steal' line. Have a watch of the new series of Inside Art with Kate Bryan on 'Picasso Ingres: Face to Face @NationalGallery'. My edit for @UnityHouseHQ on Sky Arts tonight at 7pm.

@clairemsinger Another one for you! Crikey, what a behemoth...
I celebrated your victory by having potatoes & ice-cream with my supper.
Two heavyweight paintings going head to head. Nice to see the trail out for my next broadcast edit for the very excellent @UnityHouseHQ with Kate Bryan
📺 Tune into @SkyArts on Monday 5 September at 7pm for a look at our exhibition, 'Picasso Ingres: Face to Face'. For the first time, Picasso’s ‘Woman with a Book’ has been brought together with the painting that inspired it, Ingres's ‘Madame Moitessier’: bit.ly/3fueiXh
It was a great pleasure to be recently back @_art_on_sea making this film about the brilliant @LakwenaMaciver and her punchy abstract takes on legendary basketball players: vimeo.com/728154215

It's #TapeBoxTuesday - two recent flea market finds. A very odd 'Soundhog' blank tape by EMI Tape (70s?) and a classy early-ish Sony with the lovely slogan "capture the strength and delicacy of every sound". @OldSchoolFormat @ObsoleteMediaUK @museumsound @BLSoundHeritage

Great to do this edit for @FCBStudios - such a nice element having @RaymondAntrobus perform his poem 'Resonance' that features in the building. And what a stair... Full film here: vimeo.com/709065573
The new Faculty of Arts Building @warwickuni has been 'buzzing with activity and creativity' since students and staff moved in. We've made a film to take you on a journey around the light-filled, timber-lined space. With @RaymondAntrobus Watch in full➡️ fcbstudios.com/Explore/film

If you haven't already, it's well worth getting lost in @Mhafez100 miniature recreations of a lost Damascus at @FabricaGallery on in Brighton as part of @brightfest. It was a pleasure to both film and photograph: youtu.be/gncZyxaEHzs
Last weekend to catch @EmmaJCritchley's topical and beautifully rich multi-channel film Witness on @AttenboroughCtr as part of @brightfest. It was a pleasure to document - the underwater dance scenes and incredible soundtrack a particular highlight.

Hovering between two worlds - it's been great making this film for @FabricaGallery showing the beautiful work of @Mhafez100 which evokes a lost Damascus. On until the 29 May as part of @brightfest and highly recommended. Full-length film here: youtube.com/watch?v=gncZyxaE…
