Prosopagnosia in competition at Clermont-Ferrand

Steven Fraser's latest animated short is currently screening in the Lab competition at Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival.

The festival

The Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival is the world's largest film festival dedicated to short films. In term of audience and professional presence, it is the second largest film festival in France after Cannes.

There are 27 films selected for the lab competition and you can find out more about them all.

The film

Prosopagnosia uses expressive animation to investigate intimacy, communication and memory. Prosopagnosia means face-blindness and to understand this neurodiverse behaviour, the contents of a memory box are intricately explored.

Sketchbooks, photographs and diaries unravel to tell a unique and personal story.

Steven discusses his process

Steven had a chat with Clermont about the film and his process.

Reece Cargan selected to attend the 2022 Rotterdam Lab

Bombito producer Reece Cargan has been selected by Screen Scotland to attend the 2022 edition of the Rotterdam lab.

73 producers will be joining from across the world for the training workshop.

Rotterdam Lab

Rotterdam Lab is a training workshop for producers at the start of their career, with the aim of offering emerging international professionals the means to build and develop their network. Providing confidence and skills to navigate the world of international film financing, sales and distribution.

Due to the current restrictions on travel - all participants of the 2022 lab will be attending virtually.

Reece Cargan

I'm excited to attend (albeit virtually ) to meet like minded producers, attend sessions from experts and crucially - network with a number of other creatives from across the globe.

I'm interested in co-production opportunities for Bombito and can't wait to strengthen the quality of projects on my current slate with all of the knowledge, contacts and information that awaits in Rotterdam.

Further information

Following Rotterdam, Reece will be heading to Luxembourg for the first EAVE producer's workshop with project 'A Good Spell'.
