1st Year

Directed by Pedro Serrazina

Synopsis
Ben, like most 11 year olds, has some very specific ideas about school.
Director's Statement
In coming to the Royal College my main goals were to develop skills as a director and combine techniques that I hadn't tried before... Somehow I wanted to get away from the shadow of my previous work and have the fresh feeling of rediscovering everything again: No attachments, no labels, no links to any particular style...Everything was possible.

In my first film at the Royal College, One Minute about my Life I faced the challenge of working with a child and making a film out of his ideas, drawings and toys.

Within pushed further that same technical approach, trying to express a particular feeling through the combination of live action, objects and photographs...This two films, with their mistakes and little victories, are another two steps in a path that will, hopefully, lead to new exciting ways to come. I hope you will enjoy following the trail...
