Jon Gartenberg selected two films for TFF 2011 that, we are proud to announce,
have received U.S. distribution and are currently playing around the country -
Bill Morrison's THE MINERS' HYMN from Icarus Films &
Marie Losier's THE BALLAD OF GENESIS AND LADY JAYE from Adopt Films.
Bill Morrison's THE MINERS' HYMNS (2011)
The ill-fated coal mining communities in North East England are the subject of this inspired documentary by multi-media artist Bill Morrison. Their story is told entirely without words, yet the film is far from silent: it features a remarkable original score by the Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson.
Using rarely-seen footage from the British Film Institute, the BBC, and other archives, THE MINERS' HYMNS celebrates social, cultural, and political aspects of the extinct industry. Focusing on the Durham coalfield located in northeastern England, it depicts the hardship of pit work, the role of Trade Unions in organizing and fighting for workers' rights, the years of increased mechanization and the annual Miners' Gala in Durham.
• In U.S. Distribution through ICARUS FILMS.
