In 2018 a single festival in Bristol became a multi-year relationship with the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, hosted by the United Nations Foundation. We covered its three-day Data for Development Festival with multi-camera live production, then made five short films for the UN General Assembly in two weeks, using animation, archive, poetry and actors. One opened a plenary session and drew spontaneous applause; a later commission carried the story to Africa.
What we delivered. Multi-camera live production of the three-day Data for Development Festival, streamed to the UN's platforms. A dedicated interview room running all week. Five short films for the 2018 UN General Assembly, delivered in two weeks. The Africa Regional Data Cube film. See more of our work for government and public bodies, charities and not-for-profits, and our graphics and animation.
One of the films opened a plenary session at the UN General Assembly.
When it finished, the room applauded - spontaneously, unprompted, before the session had properly begun - clear evidence that the creative gamble was the right one: an audience that sits through advocacy films professionally, for a living, responded to these ones as an audience rather than as delegates.
This time there was no live event to cover and no crew to fly out. We built the film from the interviews we had captured at the Bristol festival, combined with graphics and archive, and produced it entirely in our Bristol studio for an international conference in Africa.
This film is part of our live streaming and event production and corporate film work. See all the films we make.
