New Film about Public Art Commission for Olympic Park

Watch the teaser clip for a new film we're making about an exciting public art commission for the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Heather and Ivan Morison are making a new piece of work for the re-vamped Olympic Park. Inspired by caves and shelters the sculptures will sit like urban relics in a newly landscaped northerly section of the park which is due to open on 29th July.

Directed by 19 year old Muzzammil Hashmi, the film crew comprises young filmmakers from East London working alongside the Eelyn Lee Production team. The longer film will be released at the end of the month.

Commisioned by A New Direction for LLDC [London Legacy Development Corporation].
