Following on from The Forgotten Circus, a short film made in 2008 by director Shelly Love with students from Circus Space, the Roundhouse and Circus Space have announced that Love will direct a trilogy, The Forgotten Trilogy, to be made over the five-year period 2013-2017.
Shelly Love is a director, filmmaker and choreographer who was artist in residence at Circus Space when she made The Forgotten Circus, a darkly sumptuous, time-bending piece seen through the mind's eye of a dying ringmaster and set to music by Jamie McDermott and The Irrepressibles. You can see the full film here.
The new trilogy will be shot at the Roundhouse, will premiere at future CircusFest's in 2014, 2016 and 2018, and will once again be made with students from Circus Space.
