British Library

Sometimes a project comes along that makes our hearts sing here at Citizen. Making a short film for the British Library to celebrate their 50th anniversary was just such a production. We were honoured to be asked to collaborate with the Library’s brilliant marketing team and Chief Exec Roly Keating (who let’s face it, knows a thing or two about film-making), to direct performances with talent including Michael Rosen, record with Lemn Sissay, and to film with staff and library users. We filmed in London and Yorkshire to convey the breadth and scope of a much-loved library that is so much more than a library. The film was directed by Gretchen Shoring, Citizen's lead Producer, and a former BBC TV Director.
