Anthony Ing's Jill, Uncredited screens exclusively on Mubi from November 29, 2023, in the series Brief Encounters.Jill, Uncredited.My interest in doing a project about extras came from doing archival research where I would have to watch and rewatch scenes from old films. I found myself wondering about those peripheral figures who live their lives in the margins of the narrative. You might see someone reading a book on a train platform, a nurse wheeling a trolley out of frame, or a soldier looking forlorn—then, just like that, they’re gone and you never see them again. We all have background characters in our own lives, and we’ve all been background characters in other people’s lives.

Charlie Shackleton’s film exists as a single 35mm print.
Charlie Shackleton’s non-fiction feature The Afterlight, which exists on a single 35mm print, has set a 12-date UK-Ireland tour, self-distributed by production company Loop.
The film will play locations around the territory from June 29th with in-person introductions and Q&As from UK filmmaker Shackleton.
Only one copy of the film exists, meaning it erodes every time it screens. It is described by the filmmakers as “a living document of its life in circulation. Eventually it will disappear entirely.”

Newly-established Loop Fund aims for ‘risk-taking approach’.
Nascent UK production company Loop has reinvested profits from its own films into three ‘no-strings-attached’ filmmaker grants of £5,000.
The three recipients are: artist-filmmaker Jamie Janković, who will use their award for a project applying the aesthetic of text-based gameplay to personal stories of queerness, disconnection and family; artist and animator Grace Lee, whose work will examine the use of dogs throughout art history; and filmmaker John Ogunmuyiwa, whose project will portray the high street as seen through the window of an African hair salon.

Documentary will be exclusive to the BBC’s iPlayer VOD platform.
Charlie Lyne, the filmmaker behind teen movies documentary Beyond Clueless, is to turn his attention to horror for the BBC.
Fear Itself (working title) will be built from material spanning more than 100 years of horror cinema and reunites Lyne with Beyond Clueless producers Catherine Bray and Anthony Ing.
As well as studying the genre, which dates back to the beginning of film, Lyne will attempt to subvert the traditional formalities of the arts documentary to create a movie every bit as scary as the films at its centre.
A statement from the BBC explained: “Our journey through horror will be led not by historical chronology, but by the physical experience of fear within the human brain.
“We’ll track a course through the involuntary reactions that make horror possible, and use them as a jumping-off point to explore how horror filmmakers tap into our most fundamental...
