| Frome On Film is the title of a community documentary set in and around the North Somerset town of Frome and created by its residents. It follows several diverse stories over the course of a year (2005/6) and was filmed largely by non-professional, first-time filmmakers. The project was funded by the National Lottery’s Awards For All scheme and Frome Community College Media Arts, and supported by FILMFROME and Arturo Ltd. | Frome Community College Media Arts and FILMFROME collaborated to produce an absorbing documentary about Frome and its diverse community. First-time filmmakers capture the everyday miracles that touch our lives to create a unique and compelling account of their own town. Includes live music & Cheap Street treats. Eighteen months in the making, the Frome on Film community documentary premiered at the Merlin Theatre on Sunday 16 July. Launched at Frome Festival 2004, the lottery-funded film project set out to galvanise the community into making a documentary about their hometown. Filmed entirely by Frome residents using their own ideas and stories, Frome on Film weaves together a diverse range of stories: babies and midwives, children and fathers, passionate food producers, dedicated instrument makers, teenagers, pensioners, even two happily liberated battery chickens! The result is a personal, touching and surprising snapshot of Frome that will create a valuable archive for future generations and provide the impetus to create an ongoing record of the town in the 21st century. If the stories don’t represent your experience of Frome, let us know… we might just lend you a camera. | ||||
