The Colour of Chips
Synopsis
Filmmaker Francesca Levi combines archival and found footage to create a speculative vision of the seaside town of Blackpool, one which is both unsettling and curiously nostalgic. Commissioned as part of Live Cinema UK's The Unfilmables project, the film features a score composed by Oscar-nominated musician Mica Levi.
