Every year filmmakers from the Ruskin School of Art work with film composers from St Hilda's College and the Music Faculty to create a series of art film 'shorts' that may in some cases involve live performance. This year there will be eight projects involving masters composers from the Music Faculty, with the project being convened by Professor Martyn Harry.
