FourDocs continues its collaboration with Channel 4's 3 Minute Wonder strand, with a series of films on the theme 'My Family and Other Animals'. Rebecca Frankel, Editor of FourDocs says: "People were great at interpreting the theme and showing people whose lives and memories are entangled with animals. The films we picked are snap shots of a farmer taking a bull to slaughter, an imprisoned bird keeper, a life long wildlife lover and experimental recollections of a snail sanctuary."
Congratulations to the winners, and watch their films at the usual time of 7.55pm on Channel 4 next week (Monday 9th - Thursday 12th June).
Clive Whaley for Killing Floyd
Holly Blackwell for A Anderton Presenting My Family and Other Animals
Gianluca Bonoilo for Susan and Susan

FourDocs also want to say: "a massive thanks for sticking with us as we transfer over to a new site and submission system. We're re-launching later this month, with a new bursary scheme and a closer working relationship with 3 Minute Wonder. In both 2006 and 2007 we screened one week of FourDocs on Channel 4. In 2008 we will be airing four whole weeks of FourDocs on 3 Minute Wonder! Get your thinking caps on for the next FourDocs theme - My Home Town."
