In Shelly’s second venture into film making, she employed a puppet maker to create the character 'Scratch' then devised the piece in response to the puppets tragic character. Scratch explores life and death through the nature of the puppet as both an inanimate object and animated character brought to life through human movement.

Scratch is an Arts Council England 2002 ‘Capture’ commission and was the winner of the prestigious ’IMZ Best Screen Choreography’ Award in 2005.  Scratch was broadcast on CH4 and screens internationally at film, dance film and arts festivals.

COMMENTS

“Behind each one of the more than hundred films competing in this category, we had in mind all the time that thousands of artists were engaged in making every minute a remarkable moment. This film moved us all deeply like a chamber music piece composed of simple and subtle movements..”-  IMZ Best Choreography on Screen, Jury citation.
