Weekend Film Series: Life in a Day & The Trip
A documentary that chronicles one day in the life of Planet Earth, and a road movie starring two of Britain’s top comedians, are the featured films at the ‘Weekend Film Series’ this coming Sunday, August 21 at the Tradewinds Auditorium at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute [BUEI].
Life in a Day will screen at 3 p.m. on Sunday, while The Trip will screen at 5.15 p.m.
Life in a Day was created entirely from footage uploaded by YouTube users. From 80,000 submissions totaling 4,500 hours of footage, editor Joe Walker has produced a documentary feature out of a startling cinematic experiment.
This is a feel-good film about the global village, produced by Ridley Scott (Black Hawk Down, The Gladiator, Thelma and Louise) and directed by Kevin MacDonald (One Day in September, Touching the Void).
The Trip brings director Michael Winterbottom and the hilarious Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon (24 Hour Party People, A Cock and Bull Story) back together in a side-splitting road comedy.
When Steve Coogan is asked by The Observer to tour the country’s finest restaurants, he envisions it as the perfect getaway with his beautiful girlfriend. But, when she backs out on him, he has no one to accompany him but his best friend and source of eternal aggravation, Rob Brydon.
The comic duo drive each other mad with constant competition and showdowns of competing impressions, and realise in the end a rich amount about not only good food, but the nature of fame, relationships and their own lives.
Tickets, $15, can be purchased in the Oceans Gift Shop at the BUEI, or by calling 297-7314. The ‘Weekend Film Series’ is a joint production of Bermuda Documentary Film Festival director Duncan Hall and the BUEI.
