Foxtrot Films is deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty The Queen.

Director Margy Kinmonth writes:  

I was privileged to work closely with King Charles III, directing a film about the many artists within the royal family going back 500 years.  King Charles is a talented watercolour painter and loves landscape painting.  As part of the research I came across this rare gem in the archive – a lino cut by H.M. Queen Elizabeth II, done as a child, showing a prancing circus horse, and given as a gift to her parents.  Just one inspiring artefact from the legacy of her long and richly lived  life.”

We will miss her.

Ravilious film reveals lost art found under bed 40 years after his death

Found under bed after 40 years

Eric Ravilious – Drawn to War reveals that the work he left when he died was stored by his great friend Edward Bawden underneath a bed at his home in Great Bardfield until restored to his three children in 1972.

The release of Margy Kinmonth’s cinema documentary, Eric Ravilious: Drawn to War in July 2022, has brought this artist once more into the news. It is a rare example of a full-length biopic of an artist some have considered minor or marginal, although, for a so-called ‘forgotten’ artist, he has collected an increasing and dedicated fan-club.
