The Travelling Artist

It&apos;s better than I could do!

I was lucky enough to see this film recently at a special screening with the father of co-director Jez Blackmore.

It has a dark feel to it, reminiscent of 1920s German cinema. There is little dialogue and the lead actress meets the challenge of conveying the emotional journey she&apos;s going on. The music sets the mood very well and I especially like the piece that sounds like a music box. The story seems to successfully and subtly merge aspects of two of my favourite films, Edward Scissorhands and Labyrinth.

Overall a good effort from the mostly student cast and crew. A positive glimpse of great things to come from independent British cinema.

A young artist, Lucy Snow, struggles bravely to cope with more than one grief; the plight of her seriously ill mother, and her own faltering talents as a painter.

Her dreams become haunted by a shadowy figure, the mythical Travelling Artist. This lonely wanderer, itÂ’s whispered, has roamed the world for over a century in pursuit of his creative visions. Can such a man exist? And if he does, will his powers be able to rescue Lucy from sadness and what form will salvation take?
