Thumbs up Chris Killip new film short - Skinningrove

The internet sometimes throws up a few gems and this is definitely one.
A recent award-winning short film documentary - 15 minutes - of Chris Killip showing and talking about unpublished photos from his Skinningrove work.
Fascinating look at a time and place.
On the New York Review of Books website of all places!

enjoy!

Compelling photographs, and a compelling story. Thanks for the link Tony.
The people of Skinningrove have a fearsome reputation round here, but I've photographed there quite a bit and always find them friendly and quite happy, even indifferent, about being photographed.
I wonder why the photographer concentrated on the young lads, and not the older fishermen as well.

Fascinating. It was almost as if he was talking about an isolated community that had only a superficial connection to the later part of the 20th century. Take away the cars etc and there is a connection with the 19th century photos of Frank Sutcliffe in Whitby

Thanks for posting this Tony I found it very interesting, an important documentary of part of our social history. I especially like the way the photos are of everyday life.

Mike, when the photographs were taken Skinningrove was indeed an isolated community, and remains just as isolated today. It's not somewhere where you would go for your holidays, unlike, say, Saltburn or Staithes on either side of it. Like Port Mulgrave further down the coast it seems lost in a time warp. Last week Tony Miller and myself went to Port Mulgrave and Tony described it as being like frontier land. An apt description. Literally life and death, which Tony may explain.

I'm not sure I see a link to Sutcliffe in Chris Killip's photographs. Long exposure requirements forced Sutcliffe to pose his photographs, wheras Killip's are more spontanious. Not better. Just different They reminded me a bit of Koudelka's gypsy photographs.

Default Thank you.

Many thanks for that Tony. Much more interesting than so of the sugary sweet things the internet seems full of. Documentary in a very down to earth manner with a real insight to the people.

Thanks for the link Tony, pity I had not known about this a month earlier, I have recently returned from a campervan trip up the north east coast including a couple of days at Saltburn By The Sea, I would have been very interested to have visited Skinningrove to see it as it is now compared to Killip's photos and experiences, hopefully I may get back to the area at some time in the future.

Great film.
It's always lovely to see documentary photos in large format.

Thanks Tony.
