Newsflare was delighted to sponsor this year’s FOCAL International Awards, alongside the likes of Sky Clip Sales, Getty Images, Fremantle, ITV Archive, and Realscreen.
The award ceremony, which included a fabulous sparkling reception at the Landmark Hotel in London, recognises the best achievements in the use of archive footage across the creative and cultural industries.
Hosted by actress and comedian Sally Phillips the event, held on 23rd June, awarded a total of 16 prizes across production, restoration & preservation, and personnel, all recognising and honouring the achievements and work within the audio-visual industry.
Our founder and CEO Jon Cornwell presented one of those awards to #LostConnections, the winner of the best use of footage in a short film category.
Honouring an innovative storyteller
Lost Connections, by Yorkshire Films Archive, is a short film that gives us hope for the future by connecting with the past. Meticulously crafted from over 200 films it comprises over a century of remarkable footage in response to the last two years when many of us were forced to stop, to reflect, to question, and to re-assess what is important.
