Rob: The Summer House

The Sum­mer House was screened at the British Soci­ety of Cin­e­matog­ra­phers New Cin­e­matog­ra­phers Night in Novem­ber of 2009.

The BSC updated with their pro­gram for that night, includ­ing The Sum­mer House, list­ing it as 14 min­utes long.

Filmed in France, this is the first ven­ture by Miss Gili to pro­duce write and direct her own short film. Although she is joint prin­ci­ple of the non gov­ern­ment funded Lon­don Film Acad­emy, her short was made totally inde­pen­dent of the LFA. The result is a warm, dreamy piece, which cap­tures the lazy sum­mer after­noons and cool evenings at the French villa, for a gath­er­ing of fam­ily mem­bers. I sup­pose the temp­ta­tion may have been there to pace it up a bit, but she held to the story which gen­tly unfolded. Nicely pho­tographed by Alex Ryle.
