Short art film, 2015, 7:12 min
Little River Pictures has made an art film out of an art project.
With time-lapse photography playing a big part, this creative short film tells a story of the work and love that went into the transformation of an old rusty tugboat into a World War One Dazzle Ship. Initiated and led by Jersey artist Ian Rolls, the boat has been painted over a period of two months with the help of fellow Jersey artists. ianrolls.co.uk
The ex-US Army tugboat Elektra, situated in Jersey Channel Islands, is owned by Lee and Kayli Rainbow who have both dedicated a huge amount of their time into restoring her. facebook.com/tugboatelektra

The project is part of Jersey’s official commemorations of the centenary of the First World War. Kindly supported by the World War One Centenary Fund, managed by the Jersey Arts Trust. arts.je
