Global Bloomsday 2020.

Dear Friends,

We have been requested to collaborate in a global virtual initiative to mark Bloomsday 2020.

The department are developing a collaborative project to create a Global Bloomsday short film, using brief video clips from different parts of the world to create a dynamic diverse collection of locations and languages to convey a sense of global connectedness at this time, and also a flavour of the universal playful energy of Ulysses.

As a script, a selection of short quotations from the book has been chosen (see previous post), which are universal rather than referring to the specific characters, locations or plot, and which evoke these extraordinary times: silence, isolation, the desire for human touch, the quest for a cure, then turning towards love, hope for the future and affirmation. As you will see, each quotation is connected to a corresponding type of location and time of day. The idea would be to choose a performer and a location, and record. The guidelines on how to do so with an iPhone or other device you might have at hand are also attached.

The relevant line (or lines for the scenes which have two quotations attached) should be spoken to camera rather than read, and can be delivered in English or Spanish. To guide the performers, voice directions are included for each quotation.

Then you would need to record three short film clips for the chosen scene: (i) the performer speaking the relevant line to camera, (ii) the performer, silent, looking to camera, c 10 secs, (iii) a shot of the location without performer, 5-10 secs.

We would need to receive the videos before May 28, with time to resolve technical problems, if any.

Forward them to me at this email: bloomsdaysociety@gmail.com

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.

I want to encourage you to participate as it will be primary and unique event among joyceans .

Thank you.
