NORTH DEVON MOVING IMAGE - CREATING AN ARCHIVE FOR THE FUTURE
|
North Devon Moving Image (NDMI) is a community film making organisation working with local people, partners and film makers to create, commission, share and preserve short documentary films about life in north Devon today.
The NDMI short film collection will inspire, educate and entertain - enabling us to examine the way we live today and future generations to look back and see what life in north Devon was like in the past. By working with the community and freely sharing our films we will empower the people of north Devon to tell their stories to local, national and global audiences. |
