UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH MILLS

SIR John Mills was the subject of a new film containing unscreened footage filmed by him on his own 16mm camera.
Award-winning Director Marcus Dillistone shot the film ‘Moving Memories’, which includes interviews with Mills and his children, using one of JVC’s latest widescreen, GY-DV700, Professional DV camcorders.
Mills stumbled across 12,000 foot of unprocessed 16mm film in the attic of his home and after working with Dillistone on the film ‘The Troop’ asked him to see what could be done with the old footage.
The captured colour footage of old black and white films like ‘Ice Cold in Alex’ and ‘Dunkirk’ and the stars filmed relaxing by Mills camera reads like a who’s who of British and world cinema.
Dillistone, who already has more than 30 cinematographic awards, said: “We had great fun using the DV700W and it has produced some truly excellent quality pictures which help to make ‘Moving Memories’ a real tour de force.”
The hour long film was premiered for the press aboard HMS Belfast on the Thames and screened using JVC’s state-of-the-art D-ILA projection equipment.
