THE BANKSY JOB now in production
In Production December 2015
- THE SONG OF SCORPIONS by Anup Singh, producer: EAVE graduate Saskia Vischer has started principal photography. Set in the mystical Thar Desert of Rajasthan, the film tells a story about a shaman woman who travels the desert and heals scorpion poisoning with a song. When she realises that she herself has been poisoned emotionally by the man in her life, it starts her on a quest to find the healing song for herself.
- THE BANKSY JOB by Ian Gray and Dylan Harvey, producer: EAVE graduate Christine Alderson is in production. In March 2004 the artist known as Banksy illegally erects a ten-foot statue in a small square off Shaftsbury Avenue in central London. Titled ‘The Drinker’, this sculpture is a replica of Rodin’s ‘The Thinker’ – with a traffic cone placed on its head. The only clue as to who put it there is a stencil on the plinth that merely says ‘Banksy’. Then, one day, in broad daylight, masked thieves pull up with a flatbed truck and cart ‘The Drinker’ away… a reporter from a national newspaper receives a ransom note from a man calling himself AK47, claiming to represent a group of ‘art terrorists’ calling themselves ‘ART KAIDA’ After several years back and forth between the media, Banksy and Art Kaida, it is alleged that the artist called Banksy ‘arranged’ for the statue to be destroyed by any means necessary.
