Title: FIRST REELS INTERVIEW: Inigo Garrido, The Phone

Reference number: 8207

Date: 1993

Sound: sound

Colour: col

Fiction: non-fiction

Description: First Reels - a joint short film initiative from Scottish Screen (and its predecessor body the Scottish Film Council) and Scottish Television. First Reels was launched during 1991 by Scottish Film Council in response to a perceived need for small grants to help young and first time film-makers to make or complete their first film or video project. Scottish Television came in as co-sponsor at an early stage and as well as contributing to half the funds they have given the scheme a tremendous public relations boost by running three half hour documentaries showing excerpts from the First Reels. Applicants were invited to submit projects in any format and on any subject they chose. All entries were considered by a jury and thirty five projects were given grants varying from £50 to £2000. On show at the GFT are a representative selection of the best of the films and videos supported by the scheme. [Editorial from Scottish Film Council held in paper archives]

Shotlist: Raw interview footage with director Inigo Garrido, concerning the film THE PHONE, made under the Scottish Film Council and Scottish Television's First Reels scheme.

Discusses: The film is about a phone that is not going to be answered. This is an experimental film, dealing with memories, not a narrative. Made on super 8mm film. Used scratching as a technique to make the film. Discusses the film-making process - compares this to being a juggler.
