In January 2015 we filmed 3 action packed days of The Abbey Theatre’s War Symposium in Dublin. The symposium is a unique gathering of artists, journalists & academics discussing the world’s most troubling conflicts from a global, contemporary and historical perspective. There were invited theatre artists from Burundi, Columbia, Syria, Palestine, Rwanda, Ireland and the United Kingdom to discuss the challenges of artists responding to conflict. The above video is from Ray Dolphin – Researcher and Writer currently based in East Jerusalem, working with the UN office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs giving one of the best examples I’ve ever seen on the extent of Israels invasion into Palestinian territory. A must watch for anybody interested in this conflict. Lots more interesting speakers on The Abbey Theatre’s Youtube channel.
“As Europe’s economy gets caught in a liquidity trap, why America is petrified of the coming major alliance between Russia and Germany”. Irish economist David McWilliams gives his latest take on world economics issues.
This client needed a video to use at the annual Mining Indaba conference in South Africa. We worked closely with the CEO to develop the script and subsequently produced, filmed and edited the final video. We’re not experts in mining (you’d never guess though, right?), so this video required us to get up to speed on the industry very quickly – the sort of challenge we love taking on.
Click Zoom partnered with SUBTITLE to produce, film and edit all of the festival’s video content. It’s Ireland’s newest film festival and presents a unique opportunity to catch some of the most popular European films that can’t be found at the multiplex, so we jumped on board. Actors, directors, casting agents and industry talent were interviewed and filmed all over Kilkenny in the sunny south east of Ireland during the festival.
Our video packages were distributed to TV stations all over Europe and key online film channels, to highlight the amazing talent that descended on the city for the weekend. We’re looking forward to working with this amazing festival for years to come.
