THE work of a talented Kidderminster filmmaker will be shown on the big screen this weekend at a prestigious national film festival.

Josephine Reynolds, 18, created the three-and-a-half minute short, L'Artiste, with fellow Stourbridge College student Matthew Elwell, also 18.

And the work is among the 103 productions chosen from the 220 entered which will be shown at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television, Bradford, during the Co-operative Young Filmmakers Festival.

The film, which was filmed in Kidderminster, tells the surreal story of a man who tries to find the chair featured in paintings by Van Gogh.

Josephine, who is currently studying film and video at Newport University, Wales, said the short was filmed on a video camera in DV format.
