Back in October I went to see The Arbor, Clio Barnard's film about the troubled lives of deceased playwrite Andrea Dunbar's children. It used the voices of her real children lipsynched by actors and interspersed with scenes from Dunbar's plays about the Brafferton Arbor estate in Bradford.
It was a powerful piece of work -a mix of fictional story and documentary aesthetic -that's her style. She will be talking about her earlier short-film work at BAFTA this Saturday evening. If you can get down there, do because it looks set to be a really interesting event.
