Synopsis
LIFE IN A DAY shows in beautiful, humorous and joyful honesty what
it is like to be alive on earth today. This ground breaking film is
directed by Academy Award®-winning director Kevin Macdonald. The
idea was borne out of a unique partnership between Ridley Scott's
Scott Free UK production company and YouTube. The film is a
user-generated feature film, shot on a single day, 24 July, 2010,
that enlisted people around the world to capture a moment of their
lives on camera.
People responded by submitting more than 80,000 videos representing
over 4,500 hours of deeply personal, powerful films. Contributions
poured in from 197 countries from Australia to Zambia, Peru to
Ukraine, UK to Japan, from the heart of bustling cities to the
furthest and most remote reaches of the earth. Many of the entries
were submitted via YouTube whilst a number came from cameras that
were handed out by contacts in the developing world.
LIFE IN A DAY brings together the most compelling footage, combining
331 clips into a 95-minute film, crafted by Kevin Macdonald,
Executive Producer Ridley Scott, Producer Liza Marshall and their
team. It shows in beautiful, humorous and joyful honesty what it is
like to be alive on earth today. LIFE IN A DAY received its World
Premiere to great acclaim at 2011 Sundance Film Festival, where it
was presented by Macdonald and 23 contributors from across the
globe.
