Public “Pocket Movie Making” Workshop on the Cumbrian Coast Dalesman - Monday 28th May 2007
From Carnforth to Ravenglass and back, Lancaster-based arts organisation folly will be taking its successful Pocket Movie Making Workshops on the rail network this Bank Holiday Monday.
The Pocket Movie Making workshops are a chance for beginner members of the public to make their very own short film on a mobile phone.
On this occasion, folly will be working with passengers on the special all-day train excursion. The film-making is free but the special train journey needs to be booked in advance via http://www.kingfisherrailtours.co.uk
Departing at 10.12am members of the folly team will work with passengers on the Cumbrian Coast Dalesman to shoot, edit and screen a short film inspired by the stunning coastal scenery and the magnificent steam locomotive that will haul the carriages.
See www.folly.co.uk for more info

Folk Float?! or Mobile Folk Archive?!
On Monday we spent an enjoyable day in town with Public Works who are commissioned to make a touring mobile ‘museum’ (kind of) to show and collate local artefacts. We visited Dorothy and Ralph Merrett at their house and viewed some of the archive to be shown in the project. Pictured here also is artist Kathrin Bohm and her model of the milk float proposal for the museum, which provoked much discussion and laughter as we tried to name the thing!
