Inspired by Old Master paintings, three slow-moving tableaux images appear depicting scenes of conflict and resolution on the streets, at home and in the workplace. Shot on locations in East London the images feature young people playing various roles including a young pregnant mum representing Justice and a smart young man battling with a politician at the doors of a local Job Centre. These evocative and multi-layered images employ both photographic and filmmaking techniques, challenging the audience to see different things in them on each viewing. Under the direction of Eelyn Lee, young filmmakers and photographers from A New Direction?s Headstart worked alongside filmmakers at Eelyn Lee Productions and photographers Tim & Barry to create this compelling piece of moving image work. Commissioned by A New Direction

Eelyn Lee is a filmmaker and managing director of Eelyn Lee Productions. After studying fine art she founded the performance group Sacred Cow, producing site-responsive visual theatre in the North of England during the 1990?s.

Her visual art and performance background continues to inform her narrative-led filmmaking, a career in which now spans 15 years. Eelyn has written, produced and directed documentaries, short films and animations. She has a strong reputation for making high quality films about young people that are often devised through participatory processes. Her films have been broadcast on TV and online, shown in festivals and distributed on DVD. In 2012 she received the ?RITTER SPORT Film Prize? for Life and Deaf, a short film selected for the competition programme of the 6th ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival in Berlin. Eelyn lives and works in London and Sheffield and is currently developing ideas for narrative feature films.
