A FILM featuring people from Barrow, Lancaster, Preston has been nominated for a prestigious award to be presented at the home of BAFTA in London.

Give Me Today, Anytime is a documentary film produced for the Walking In Others Footsteps project, led by the Lancaster-based arts and heritage company, Mirador.

It was created by local film-makers Jon Randall and Tom Diffenthal as part of the celebration of the digitisation of the Elizabeth Roberts Working Class Oral History Archive by the Regional Heritage Centre at Lancaster University. The film featured interviews with people such as Sheila Drewery of Barrow (pictured) about their domestic life and combined them with voices from the past recorded by Barrow-born Elizabeth during the 1970s and 1980s.

Give Me Today, Anytime, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, was premiered at an oral history conference at Lancaster University in May and has also been screened at Barrow Library and other centres.

The film has been nominated for an Arts and Humanities Research Council Research in Film Award which recognises and rewards the best short films which are either inspired or directly linked to arts and humanities research. Winners will be announced on November 8.

Mirador is a highly experienced Lancashire-based team that delivers inspiring projects which fuse arts and culture that connect people to their location, heritage and history.
