The BIFA and BAFTA qualifying Bolton Film Festival has become a staple in Dn’s festival calendar. Every year the festival presents a wonderful selection of carefully curated shorts that always offer up an exciting opportunity to watch some of the best short films currently on the circuit. This year the festival takes place in person from Wednesday 2nd October through to Sunday 6th October at the Light Cinema in Bolton and online from Wednesday 9th October through to Sunday 20th October. Alongside its curated selection of films, it also boasts an informative programme of industry sessions – including the inaugural edition of the £10K Slick Films Fund live pitch event of which Directors Notes is a partner organisation. Dn was graciously offered the chance to survey the short films screening at the festival next month and we can gladly report that the expected high bar of artistic quality has once again been met.

A Brush With Comedy, the debut feature documentary from filmmaker Louis Moir, explores the relationship he has with his father Jim Moir, Aka Vic Reeves, through the lens of the latter’s creative output. It’s a film which playfully interrogates the relationship art has with comedy historically, highlighting where they overlap whilst examining how they are often seen as diametrically opposed. In addition to his father, Moir also interviews comedians Spencer Jones, Bec Hill, Miriam Elia and Simon Munnery who each incorporate various forms of visual art into their comedy. With the film available to watch on Sky Arts, Now TV, and Apple TV, Dn caught up with Moir to discuss his four year journey making A Brush With Comedy, from its origins as his graduate short at Arts University Bournemouth through to the challenges of sifting through the footage to structure the edit.
