Fancy being in a Film? Change of date
You may recall a message earlier in the year asking for people to take part in a film which is to become part of a unique public artwork for the newly developed Glydegate Square, next to the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television. The artwork, called Extra, by Sheffield-based artists Frances Hegarty and Andrew Stones, is due to begin its three year life late in November 2002. Extras are sought to take part in a video shoot on either Sunday 29th September or Sunday 27th October, 5:00 - 10:00pm. People from as many backgrounds as possible are being looked for, dressed to suggest their occupation or profession. They would like 4 representatives from the University.
For further information contact Claire Gibbons in Corporate Communications in the first instance, on ext: 6529, or email c.s.gibbons@bradford.ac.uk
