The 16th year of Sheffield’s International Doc/Fest sees two unexpected delegates of painted proportions attending the five day documentary festival, held 4-8 November 2009.
Wilda Goyetche has been invited to paint this year’s Doc/Fest through a series of commissions depicting the vibrant and creative festival days. Wildago’s painted characters Pearl and Edmund will feature in the seven colourful scenarios of festival life.
Festival Director Heather Croall comments - "We can't wait to welcome Doc/Fest's most quirky delegates to Sheffield in November."
The seven signed commissions will be presented as alternative trophies at the end of festival awards allowing winners to take away a framed original piece of Wildago artwork to commemorate their success in Sheffield.
Pearl and Edmund are introduced to the Delegates of Doc/Fest in the weeks leading up to their arrival in Sheffield with sketched snapshots of pre-festival observations. Included as part of the Doc/Fest weekly e-newsletter anticipation for the festival is built as Pearl and Edmund portray experiences other Delegates of the festival will experience for themselves in November. Pearl and Edmund will also feature in Doc/Fest Daily a printed newsletter for each day of the festival.
Wilda will be part of Doc/Fest herself as she is given access to all areas of the festival to focus in on workshops, screenings and debate to document a painted journal of the five days which will be exhibited at Doc/Fest 2010. She comments - "I'm excited and very grateful to be involved in Doc/Fest. I only hope that Pearl and Friends can behave themselves for five whole days!"
