The Overall Winner: Gillian Gatland for 'Thai Umbrellas'
The making of beautiful Thai paper umbrellas concentrating on the dexterous locals and their artistic skills.
Part of a city tour of Chiang Mai took Gillian to this workshop to find out how these paper umbrellas are made, and this video reveals the answer, all by hand.
The film ends with Gillian invited to have something of hers decorated, and we see in close up, the artistry as what at first looked like a flower design ends up as a butterfly in floral surround – a great souvenir of a wonderful experience.
Fascinating to watch, and probably a health and safety nightmare!
Gillians film ‘Thai Umbrellas’ was awarded;
The Jackson Trophy for Overall Winner
The Penny Johnson Trophy for the Best Editing
The Moorey Award for Best Documentary
