Look, we made a rag rug! A rug made of our rags…
It’s one of the best things we’ve ever thought of doing -all those fallen-apart pants and t-shirts, all those ripped shirts you never wear go into something you can sit on, stand on, and entertain on for the rest of your life. And it looks nice and colourful.
It took a year of sitting watching TV, listening to records and talking (mainly about how long it was taking) but we did it, and it’s thick and it’s cute.
Good to see The Times engaging with documentary , even if it is harking back to a supposed golden age (I mean, it totally was a golden age in the 30s to 50s but all ages are a bit golden to me) of British docs.
But really people, that is a pretty lazy article. Documentary never died, but if it did have a rebirth, it certainly wasn’t last week, it started at least 5 years ago when the possibilities of digital video came to fruition for all purses, and we’re still a-going on with it. And whats this with the list? Four random filmmakers - great. That sums it up totally. That represents all documentaries being made in the UK. Yep.
And four is the internationally recognised number for a good list, isn’t it?
Silly. You want 4 top British doc-makers? I do like all those 4 a lot but it’s not them. My money is on:
Andrew Kotting
Molly Dineen
Morgan Matthews
Daisy Asquith.
Easy as bloody pie… (that’s not someone’s name)
