Dreams of a Life, the exciting new documentary from BAFTA winning Director, Carol Morley, is showing as part of the 2011 BFI London Film Festival and I am excited to announce that the film has been nominated for the festivals The Griersons award. The Grierson Award for Best Documentary is a partnership between the Grierson Trust and the London Film Festival, and recognises outstanding feature-length documentaries of integrity, originality, technical excellence or cultural significance. The Award is presented in commemoration of John Grierson. Two-time BAFTA winner Adam Curtis will chair the jury, which also includes documentary filmmaker Kim Longinotto, Mandy Chang of the Grierson Trust, and Charlotte Moore, Head of Documentary Commissioning at the BBC. The 2011 Festival Awards will take place on 26 October and the film Dreams of a Life will screen at the London Film Festival on the 16th and 18th October, although tickets have sold out. Chris Richmond worked as production designer for Dreams of a Life, and it was Chris’s 2nd collaboration with Carol Morley, the first being the feature film, ‘Edge.’
