Unravel

One of OKO's current projects is Unravel: a collaboration with Chris Paul Daniels, Maria Anastassiou and Kelvin Brown. Unravel will attempt to create the longest hand-painted film in Britain through a programme of workshops in different communities across the UK.
Winner of the Deutsche Bank Award for Art at the Royal College of Art 2010, Unravel is an epic project that will create a hand painted film that correlates in length with the 874 miles between John O'Groats and Land's End - taking each metre between these two edges of mainland Britain as a ratio to equal one frame of 16mm film. In collaboration with over thirty national and international film festivals across England, Scotland and Wales, Unravel aims to amass an epic sixteen hour film - created and manipulated by hand - by a diverse demographic of the people of Britain. Unravel aims to turn the viewer into the maker of the work in a literal 'hands-on' way.  These events aspire to be an entertaining, informative and inspiring introduction to film making, providing an informal setting for people to interact with each other as much as the project.
