 Do you have an old family recipe notebook which has been handed down through the generations? North Devon Moving Image (NDMI) is looking for local contributors for a short oral history documentary film on the topic of House & Home. Do you treasure Granny's Christmas cake recipe? Do you still use Grandad's carving knife or Great Grandma's pudding bowl? What local recipes are family favourites? We would love to feature a person or family cooking from old hand written (or typed) recipes and see kitchen equipment and artefacts from days gone by as well as old family photos of life back in the day. The film will be part of a collection on view in the new social history gallery at the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon. If you would like to be a part of this film or know someone else who might be interested, please get in touch by email to northdevonmovingimage@outlook.com or call Amanda McCormack, Creative Director of NDMI on 01271 860610.

We had a fabulous turnout for our Barnstaple Stories oral history day at The Guildhall in Barnstaple. Lots of local people with stories to tell about Barnstaple in days gone by dropped in to talk to us and share their old photographs. It was fascinating to hear personal anecdotes about the railway, local pasties, a street full of dough and buried statues amongst other intriguing tales.
We managed to record over three hours of interviews and will be editing some short films to be shown on the Barnstaple Town Council website and the touch screen display at St Anne's Arts and Community Centre. We have a growing list of people who were either unable to come to the Guildhall or not able to wait for an interview slot so we are planning to apply for funding to make this a bigger project and preserve even more stories from Barnstaple and other towns and villages in North Devon. See our Films Page to watch Barnstaple Stories.
 North Devon Moving Image (NDMI) is looking for local people to get involved with an oral history film making project about St Anne's Chapel in Barnstaple.
NDMI has been commissioned by St Anne's to produce a digital video archive of stories which build a picture of the people who link St Anne's today with its past. Amanda McCormack, founder and Director of NDMI says "We want to hear from anyone who is interested in or has links with the history of St Anne's. As well as offering exciting opportunities for volunteers we will be running free and fun, accessible oral history film making workshops as part of the project." "Our short course will teach people that oral history films can be entertaining as well as informative and we aim to give participants the skills and inspiration to carry on making films themselves." The project will run from now until October 2014. Research and interviews will cover four main topics; St Anne's today, the recent renovations, The Grammar School and The Huguenots. So if you have a story to contribute, would like to get involved with research or join a film making workshop please contact Amanda McCormack, North Devon Moving Image by email northdevonmovingimage@outlook.com or telephone 01271 860610. |
