Artist and filmmaker Professor Esther Johnson<\/a> has been invited to discuss her use of archive footage in her poetic documentary Asunder<\/em><\/a> which focuses on the First World War\u2019s home front in Sunderland and the North East.<\/p>\n

\"Still<\/a>

Still image from Asunder <\/em>by Esther Johnson<\/p><\/div>\n

Asunder<\/em><\/a>\u00a0tells the story of what happened to an English town during the First World War, with almost all of its men fighting abroad and its women and children left behind. Asunder has a soundtrack composed by Sunderland\u2019s Mercury-nominated Field Music and Newcastle\u2019s Warm Digits, performed with the Royal Northern Sinfonia and The Cornshed Sisters. The narration for the film is voiced by journalist Kate Adie, with the actor Alun Armstrong as the voice of the Sunderland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette.<\/p>\n

Using archive and contemporary footage and audio, Asunder collages the stories of people from Tyneside and Wearside to uncover just what life was like on the home front, with bombs falling on Britain for the first time, conscientious objectors sentenced to death, and women working as doctors, tram conductors and footballers. The narrative moves from an Edwardian golden era, in which sport grew in popularity and aircraft and cars pointed to a bright new future, to a war that horrifically reversed this progress. In the Battle of the Somme, British, French and German armies fought one of the most traumatic battles in military history. Over the course of just four months, more than one million soldiers were captured, wounded or killed in a confrontation of unimaginable horror.<\/p>\n
