Alys Tomlinson is a photographer from London and the author of Ex-Voto Project dedicated to expressions of gratitude to God that can be seen in places of religious worship such as Lourdes (France), Ballyvourney (Ireland), and Grabarka (Poland).<\/p>\n
Alys Tomlinson got to know Nun Vera (Gordienko) from our Convent during her trip to the Holy Mountain Grabarka. Thanks to a photo of Nun Vera (which is, by the way, one of the best photos of the Ex-Voto series), Ms.\u00a0Tomlinson was declared Photographer of the Year at the annual Sony World Photography Awards held under the aegis of World Photography Organisation. Alys and her colleague Miss\u00a0Marie-Cecile Embleton decided to use the prize to shoot a film about our Convent. Its working title is Vera <\/em>(lit. Faith). They plan to make a film about the fate of Nun Vera and about the Convent and its ministry.<\/p>\n The initial shooting session took place in August. Alys and Marie-Cecile came to our Convent to learn more about it and to shoot some test footage. Their first trip resulted in a short clip about Nun Vera, which will be used as a teaser to raise funds for the feature film. The second shooting session was held in January\u00a02019: the crew wanted to film the mass dipping into water at our rehabilitation centre grounds on Epiphany night. They also wanted to shoot the familiar places during the snowy winter.<\/p>\n The film is going to be black-and-white, in tune with Ex-Voto Project that inspired the two authors to make the film.<\/p>\n January\u00a029,\u00a02019<\/em> Alys Tomlinson is a photographer from London and the author of Ex-Voto Project dedicated to expressions of gratitude to God that can be seen…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19585,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[59],"tags":[19],"class_list":["post-19583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-life-of-the-convent","tag-news-from-st-elisabeth-convent"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/britanskij-fotograf-elis-tomlinson-i-operator-sesil-emblton-snimayut-film-2.jpg","views":{"total":178,"cached_at":"","cached_date":1768401681},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paPyw9-55R","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19583"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19583\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19613,"href":"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19583\/revisions\/19613"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/catalog.obitel-minsk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/britanskij-fotograf-elis-tomlinson-i-operator-sesil-emblton-snimayut-film-1-617x775.jpg\")
