1000 Voices

  • 15 years ago
A verbose and politically correct bureaucrat gives a lecture to a group of teenagers on the merits of the UK's efficient and humane asylum system, whilst meanwhile, in the same building, detainees, imprisoned indefinitely in different 'Removal Centres' across the UK, leave messages in vain on an abandoned telephone answering machine in the ministry basement. Their messages detail the horror of the life that they have escaped due to conflict.

Written and Directed by Tim Travers Hawkins, one of the winners of the 2008 Ctrl.Alt.Shift short film competition. His prize was the funding, cast and crew to make this film, with the support of Ctrl.Alt.Shift and mentor Chris Harding from Shynola.
