Emile Shemilt and Genevieve Murphy from The Ferry had important roles in a dance film, A Touch of Red, which has just been shortlisted for an award at a prestigious international festival.Emile is the Director of the film and Genevieve wrote the music. They made the film with a team of young artists who were based in the city. They are both thrilled, along with their collaborators, that their film has been shortlisted at the dance screen 2013 with San Francisco Dance Film Festival 12-15 September in San Francisco.
They are now channelling their creative talents into raising the money to attend the festival and awards ceremony.
They want to fly the flag for Dundee and and be there to receive any award should their film be selected by the jurors. Whatever the result in San Francisco, it is clearly an accolade to be short listed for an award and they hope this will help reinforce Dundee’s bid for UK City of Culture 2017.
