Grain City - a short documentary about The Sheffield Wheat Experiment
In the short documentary 'Grain City' the Sheffield Wheat Experiment re-imagines alternative grain economies through hand growing, harvesting and processing a population wheat for and of Sheffield via a dispersed farm, spread across an entire city.
Through understanding the impacts of industrialisation on our daily bread, the artwork reconnected people to the land and the seed and explored alternative systems that embody new values, making food more than just a commodity.

THIS IS NOT A SHOWREEL (2024)
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.9 месяцев назад
I'm a filmmaker living in Sheffield UK and I hate showreels. The thing is, a lot of people want to see some work before they'll consider collaborating. That's fair enough. So, I came up with a compromise and made a short film about me and my work instead. This is not a showreel.

All The Time We Have - Short Theatre Film

Written, produced and presented over just six days at NSDF 2022, All the Time We Have is a film about the time we’ve lost, and the time we’ve gained. Or...

My First Studio // A One Minute Documentary
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.4 года назад
When I came back to Sheffield in 2016, desperate to make films, I knew that I wanted my own little studio. So, I spent the last of my money getting a beat up room in a decaying old building called Waverley House. The place needed a little work. The windows leaked. It was directly adjacent to a boxing gym. I think 75% of the city knew the door code.But, together with a few friends, I made a spac...

When I was 7 years old I was an extra in the Mark Herman film ‘Brassed Off’. So was my dad and a load of other family members and friends. The film shot in Grimethorpe, where my mum’s from. Formerly a mining village, the place was decimated by the pit closures and Brassed Off tries to tell a bit of that story. If you’re from the north, it’s important to remember. It was my first experience of a...

❤❤❤❤❤😊
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Beautifully done, my friend. Love it!
SlungLow is the best🫠❤
Love this; love Slung Low; y'all made me cry!
brettinthecity, This is amazing! I can't stop smiling!
I could watch Angus Imrie all day, definitely my Prince Charming 😍
How could she resist this cute face ?! 😊
Awwwww. Very cute, and a lot of story in a short time without ever feeling heavy. Well done!
Nice non-showreel !
Beautiful stuff, mate.
Your docs are so enjoyable to view.
Such a great doc. The fight was worth it. There’s emotions and we get attached to the characters not only for what they’re fighting for but also because of the way they’ve filmed. I hope the University gets more students subscriptions and change their mind. Thank you for sharing it with us. Ps: interviews lighting is 👌🏾
Great job Brett!
Finally found it . I’ve been looking for this video quite awhile.
Hope you enjoy.
Amazing work, very moving. My admiration for the Archaeology professors, especially Umberto, of course, the staff and the students who created such a strong, united community.
Thanks Ingrid! They’re an amazing bunch of people. I hope that you’re keeping well.
Wonderful film, the strength of emotion that people feel for the department and understanding the past and the development of knowledge is clear. Sheffield is such a great department and as you say in the film it is a family.
Aloha, thank you for sharing an inspiring video. Whatever happens, Professor Umberto Albarella, colleagues, students, and supporters should be proud of what they accomplished and all of their efforts in this fight. Keep up the good work!
I agree universities should be filled with communities of like minded folk who work together and support each other. Sadly I have been made aware recently in my own institution that with internal resources being offered unfairly such "families" quickly dissolve as people look after themselves.
beautifully filmed :) keep up the fight
Andrew Smith asked me to post this comment on his behalf "It is becoming increasingly obvious that almost all universities are no longer interested in education, in its broadest sense, but have become businesses which need to measure success in monetary terms rather than in the value to society at large of the graduates who go out through their doors"
Thank you for this amazing documentary. Umberto (and all the others), thank you for your fantastic and inspiring words!
A very moving film, showing the human face of everyone involved. It would be a travesty to lose it all! Keep up the fight 💪🏽
A beautifully made film that not only draws attention to the value of the department as a resource, but its human face. The closure of the department will scar the reputation of the University of Sheffield permanently, and brings higher education in Britain generally into disrepute.
I had the privilege of having my master's at Sheffield. It was the best year of my student life. I could tell without a doubt that the department at Sheffield was one of the strongest departments in the field of archaeology; The staff's commitment and focus on student learning were outstanding, and the osteological reference collection was set up in the best and most practical way. Now that I'm on my PhD, I can see I had a great school and got the best training in Sheffield. I have been studying at different universities as an international student, but this department is the only one where I felt like family surrounded me. The atmosphere Umberto and his team created were so supportive and healing. I remember we had many events together, which made this bond among peers, PhD students and teachers, and we still keep in touch even after graduation 🎓. My heart was broken when I heard this news. As Umberto said, “History will prove we were right”. The documentary is beautiful, and even if the occasion wasn't the happiest, I am happy to see people I know and haven't seen for a long time. 🤗 hello from Aiya #savesheffieldarchaeology
I'm one of the #ArchaeologistsMadeInSheffield and my time spent there with Umberto and other members of the team was absolute crucial for me as a person and a scientist. Everything they're mentioning in this beautiful short film is true. Beautiful people and amazing scientists. Archaeology still has a place in our society and we need people like Umberto and others you've seen on this video to be it's advocates and representatives.
Amazing video, thanks for sharing your story!
A beautiful and powerful film! Thank you Umberto (and all the others) for fighting the good fight!
I hope you finally win the fight. Education and Science cannot be regulated by the market. This documentary is a beatuful testimony of it. Thank you very much Umberto for leading this fight.
I've seen and been living on this fight for an year now. Really impressed by Prof Umberto's and his colleague's resilience. Please keep this fight up. I'm sorry to see you guys through this frustrating experience. You are good people. You guys deserve much better than this. I'll continue to support you, without any reservations. I promise. I'll remain as a shoulder from overseas, like forever. Wishing every ounce of luck to the Team Sheffield Archaeology!
Umberto is a rare bird. He has, over the last decade or so, set up an amazing centre in Sheffield - now one of Europe's top teaching/research centres in the field of zooarchaeology, a vital part of the study of archaeology. Today many young zooarchaeologists in different parts of the world owe their training and inspiration to Umberto and his lab. It is so sad to see how little respect he and this centre have received from university management. It really is a disgrace. Let us hope that the Sheffield laboratory will survive and flourish. A big congratulations to Umberto and all his great colleagues/students!
Every university in the world should have the same courage and determination against any injustice. Thank you for holding the line in this fight and for being an example for all of us. I look forward to the future of the department and all its staff, students and researchers.
Great documentary, thank you. This is an important fight, thank you Umberto and all for those strong and beautiful words.
keep the fight going!
In our sadness over what has happened and anger at those who so cynically perpetrated it, it is easy to lose sight of what the staff and students of the Department of Archaeology achieved over so many years of hard work. Thanks for reminding us!
I would say a short but intense documentary. I am shivering. Thank you very much. For those who has never been in a work enviroment like the one created in the Department of Archaeology in Sheffield, it may seem like a sweet fantasy and I'm looking for the right words to explain how nice it is to work without feeling the pressure of judgment, competition, mistakes. This behiavour is something huge, that no 'act of cultural vandalism' can take away from us.
Beautiful documentary! As a researcher, I consider my time spent at the Department of Archaeology (University of Sheffield) to be the most significant of my career. Your are amazing researchers, but more importantly, wonderful human beings. Don't let them silence us, let's keep fighting together. #SaveSheffieldArchaeology
Lottare contro le prepotenze dovrebbe essere un dovere civile da parte di tutti .
Wonderful documentary; thank you Umberto for fighting constantly!
A beautiful work. I hope that it will bring attention to how much will be lost by closing the department. Universities now think only in terms of financial gains and losses, but have forgotten about the humans, the resources, and the knowledge that will be gone because of the closure.
Amazing documentary, thank you so much! Also very moving, it brought back memories and contributes much to the fight.
Wonderful movie. Excelent example of resistence and how to behave in a world increasingly competitive. Thank you ❤
Thanks for this inspiring documentary. Archaeology matters, and the spirit and ethos of the zooarchaeology group is a reference for many researchers across the world. Sheffield deserves to have a Department of Archaeology. #SaveSheffieldArchaeology
Non si può trattare la cultura come un qualsiasi prodotto da mercato
Even though I already knew the story, I was profoundly touched by the movie. The world is a bit better after such a resistence. My respect, admiration, solidarity and empathy to Sheffield archaeology people, especially to those that will miss the opportunitty to study archaeology in one of the finest departments in Europe.
