Hi there,


I am posting here to see if there are any couples out there expecting their first baby who would be available to be interviewed for a film for the Guardian.


The Guardian is producing a series of short (6-8 minute) observational documentaries about 'key life experiences'. These are intimate portraits of individuals and families which include original interviews and personal archive. 

We are looking particularly for couples in their final trimester who would be interested in sharing their story for a film about 'having your first baby'.


This will not be a film about the birth; it aims to discuss the psychological changes a woman and man encounter in the weeks before and immediately after the birth of their first child (perhaps the sudden rush of responsibility, the acts of nesting, fears about being good parents, about caring and providing). The aim is to work with people in a way that's comfortable for them, to express with sensitivity and compassion something of what this stage in their life feels like.



An example of a similar video produced by the Guardian with photographer Briony Campbell (http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/video/2010/apr/13/briony-campbell-father-cancer). Saying Goodbye With My Camera is an intimate portrait of Briony's relationship with her father in the final stages of his life. We worked with Briony at an extremely difficult time in her life and the priority throughout the production process was to support her to express her own truth in order to create something that she and her family could feel proud of.


This film went on to win a prestigious Webby Award for 'Best Documentary'.


Please feel free to message me on this forum if you think you may be interested and feel free to spread the word!


Many thanks,


Ekaterina Ochagavia

Video Producer at Guardian News and Media

      Dulwich Eco Gardening - Professional Landscape Gardening / Design

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.

      I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
