Photograph Of Jesus by Laurie Hill in association with the Getty Images Short & Sweet Film Challenge
Short and Sweet has teamed up with Getty Images to launch a film challenge with a twist.
Getty Images approached producer Basil Stephens and Short and Sweet founder Julia Stephenson with the idea of setting up a film competition which would make use of images in Getty’s Hulton Archive. Stephenson drew from her in-depth knowledge of the short film arena to suggest a selection of talented filmmakers.
After picking out ten up-and-coming directors, she gave them the opportunity to pitch. Four of the filmmakers made it on to the shortlist and got the chance to realise their ideas. They were given three months to create their films.
The challenges aim was to highlight the breadth and depth of content available at the Hulton Archive, which offers a unique resource to filmmakers and creatives alike. But rather than set a rigid brief, the challenge offered key words and phrases as prompters to guide the filmmakers creativity. Examples of these prompters included discover our past, images that shape our future, still & moving imagery, ordinary people, ordinary things and extraordinary people, extraordinary things.
I enjoyed this so much, I loved every minute of it 🙂
This is fantastic. Saw it for the first time yesterday. The photographic great Tom Stoddart introduced it to me. You should be really proud of this!
You've got a picture of Armstrong on the moon? Better show us cause we have barely any of him.
love it!

BRAVO!!
This is a great video, one of the best short videos I've seen to date. Especially when you realize a bunch of archives could have been handled so badly. Great job! Even the narration is fantastic! Thanks to all.
Amazing work, wonderfully made creative and lot of handwork behind it, superb job done.
Awesome!
There is a 3 -D photo of Jesus on his burial shroud!
This is one of the most brilliant things I have ever seen… what a gift!
Saw this at Doc Heads. People and their strange requests
I think most of these are mick-takes that they didn't get tbh.
How do you kno if that's what Jesus really looks like
This was greatly put together ,creative and well thought out thank you
Excellent video!
@Austin34
A drawing is not a picture, there's a difference
There actually are plenty of pics of Jesus. They are drawn and look different from eachother a little bit but there are drawings.
@mosblest7 yes you did. You said that it was "a slap in the face of intelligent people whove blah blah balh" do i really need to quote youre own comment to you? So does that mean that you believe in the flood, too? lol
@grendelee Never said there aren't equally intelligent skeptics, some are in the Bible. My point is that the message of Jesus, beyond religious affections is REAL. It came from somewhere in the Jewish, Roman culture over 2000 years ago. It exist! Muslims, Jews and many others believe that Jesus or whatever you want to call him existed. God gives us a choice to follow or not, no one is brainwashed. I hope you are good person even if you don't know Christ. I follow him because I need his help.
