The Art Fund
Illuminations produced two Artsworld films, Saved! and Rodin in London, to mark the 100th anniversary of The Art Fund. In 2006 we were commissioned by the fund to produce a film about their commission of James Turrell’s Deer Shelter project at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

Barbican Art Gallery
The Art of Helen Chadwick DVD was produced in 2004 alongside a major retrospective of Helen Chadwick at London’s Barbican Art Gallery. The film offers a rare opportunity to look at her provocative works exploring desire, sexuality and the body.

With support from Arts Council England, and with producer David Curtis, Illuminations has made half-hour profiles of British avant-garde filmmakers for release on British Film Institute theFRAME DVD compilations. Already published are William Raban, Ian Breakwell and Chris Welsby, and in production is a film about the work of Jayne Parker.

The British Library
The World of the Lindisfarne Gospels is a 50-minute film made alongside a landmark exhibition at The British Library in 2003, available on DVD. Contributions from Dr. Michelle Brown, one of the leading experts in the Gospels, highlight new findings about its dating and reveal how it has become recognized as one of the world’s great works of art.

Archive photographs from the collection at the Foundation complement the wide range of sculptures filmed across Britain, in France and the USA. The film has been screened by several broadcasters and is available on DVD.

Jerwood Foundation
Gereon Krebber’s proposal for a monumental and expensive aluminium object called Tin won the 2003 Jerwood Sculpture Prize. Gereon Krebber, part of theEYE series, documents that process and profiles this young sculptor with a surprising range of work. Glass Now (2003) offers an introduction to contemporary glass arts and profiles eight of Britain’s leading glass artists, all shorted-listed for the Jerwood Applied Arts Prize 2003.

National Maritime Museum
Illuminations has collaborated with the National Maritime Museum on two recent films: William Hodges: The Art of Exploration was produced alongside the 2004 retrospective, which brought together Hodges’ major works from both India and the Pacific; Elizabeth (2003) explores the life and character of Elizabeth, the only child of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, and documents the most extensive exhibition ever of her personal items, portraits and other objects.

National Portrait Gallery
The British Face (2006) is a two-part series, presented by Fiona Shaw and produced for Five in association with National Portrait Gallery, London. We have also made 20 short films about individual paintings at the gallery, which are included on The British Face DVD and are online. Other work with the gallery includes promotional films, including one made to be screened in Trafalgar Square alongside the 2004 Olympics.

Opus Arte
In the summer of 2006 the leading opera DVD publisher Opus Arte released a DVD of Illuminations’ International Emmy-winning Gloriana, A Film (1999). The film, made for BBC2, is directed by Phyllida Lloyd and is based on her landmark staging for Opera North of Benjamin Britten’s opera. Josephine Barstow and Tom Randle star.

It was made alongside the major Aztecs exhibition at London’s Royal Academy and was presented by sculptor Anthony Gormley. Another exhibition-related film, also supported by Five, is Turks (2005). Boris Johnson presents this exploration of the cultural riches of the Turks from Central Asia to the Balkans.

Royal Shakespeare Company
In 2001 Illuminations collaborated with the Royal Shakespeare Company to produce for Channel 4 a film version of Greg Doran’s brilliantly successful Macbeth. Macbeth, like the stage production, stars Antony Sher and Harriet Walter, and was shot on location at The Roundhouse, London.

The Saatchi Gallery
The Saatchi Gallery 100 is a fast-paced and fascinating film featuring one hundred works from Charles Saatchi’s collection. Shot at The Saatchi Gallery’s previous space in County Hall, London, the film highlights the work of some the most well known Young British Artists, including Sarah Lucas, Gary Hume and Jake and Dinos Chapman.

Shakespeare's Globe
Working closely with actors, directors, education practitioners and other experts from Shakespeare’s Globe theatre, Illuminations produced the 50-minute film, Shakespeare’s Globe, in 2005. We documented a day in the life of this remarkable institution which includes extracts from a production of Romeo and Juliet.

Tate
Illuminations has worked on numerous projects with Tate, including broadcast coverage for Channel 4 of the Turner Prize between 1993 and 2005, and Donald Judd at Tate Modern (2004) for Five. Several short films were made in 2006 for Tate Modern's re-hang. We create DVDs with Tate’s collection, including Turner at Tate and Constable at Tate (both 2006), and exhibition films Turner and Venice (2003) and The Victorian Nude (2002). We have also produced films for Tate’s website.

V&A

One film follows the making of this spectacular display; a second looks in more depth at the collection. Other Illuminations films with the V&A include the exhibition film Gothic: Art for England (2003) and Encounters (2004).

Walker Art Gallery
The first ever comprehensive exhibition of George Romney’s work was held at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool in 2002. George Romney is a 36-minute film produced alongside the show, which reveals the life and art of this key figure in British art in the late eighteenth century.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Illuminations has filmed on many occasions at YSP, including for our films William Turnbull (2005), The Art of Henry Moore (2005) and The Art of Barbara Hepworth (2003).
