MIB aims to promote and support moving image productions in the Scottish Borders through training, equipment hire, screenings and networking.   With support from the National Lottery and MIMAC, MIB is the culmination of a long campaign by Borders filmmakers to create an indigenous industry and promote Borders life and culture in the wider media through the production of drama, documentary, animation and video art.

This year we are launching screening and training events with the aim of establishing a base and an equipment hiring service in 2007.

500 years of Shaving Goats: Recent Neidpath Castle Shoot
Brian Devlin directed this recent video shoot, and we have a special page - with photos - dedicated to it.  see our Shaving Goats page.   Brian has produced DVDs of this film (available from Brian via organiser@movingimageborders.co.uk ) and is hoping to premier soon at Peebles Eastgate Theatre.

Brian is working on other film projects just now:  including a rock music video and a Canadian period drama to be filmed in the Borders.

Reivers Festival
A DVD giving the highlights of Hawick's Reiver Festivals 2003-2006 is now available.   It has been produced by Reiver Productions using MIB equipment. 

Also available is a DVD of the play Liddesdale: An Episode from a Border Feud (edited using MIB equipment, and performed at Stampers in 2004).

For further details see www.reiverproductions.co.uk.

The media plays such a big part in all our lives that every individual and every group has a right to express themselves, and increasingly in today's society we express ourselves through the media.

If a community has access to the ability to present itself through a video film or to have its views heard on TV or over the Web through a site or on radio all these things are assisting in the process of providing social inclusion.

Moving Image Borders is a project inspired by the Media Access projects Scotland Seminar at Dundee in February 2003.

The main aim of MIB is to set up permanent Borders Media Access centres with the aim of supporting and encouraging members of the Borders community in participating in the moving image.

We aim to provide opportunities for production and exhibition of the moving image;   also access to training, equipment hire, networking, information and taking part in events organised by MIB.
