This summer, Benjamin Wigley, was given the opportunity to develop some film works as a visiting artist at three different artist film organisations; exploring new organic photo-chemistry techniques at Philip Hoffman’s Film Farm in Mount Forest, digital to film transfer experiments at the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers Toronto (LIFT); and finally, writing and editing film at Artscape, Gibraltar Point on the Toronto Islands.

For this project, Ben was generously supported by the Arts Council England and the British Council International Fund, as well as receiving support from Artdocs Ltd, in order to explore his creative work; learn new skills, use equipment and facilities that are not available here in the UK, and to build new international relationships.
