Great Exposure for “Head in the Clouds”

8 January 1999

At this years Exposures short film festival at the Cornerhouse, Manchester, Steve Trimingham’s “Head in the Clouds” was entered in the drama category.

Set in 1961, the film tells the tale of John, a space mad 10 year old who dreams of Yuri Gagarin the first man in space. When he hears that his hero is due to visit his native Manchester on a school day, he has to dodge, parents, teachers and grumpy bus conductors to meet him.

After winning the Best Drama award at this festival, this is what City Life’s film reporter had to say about the film.

"….pick of the bunch though was definitely Stephen Trimingham's HEAD IN THE CLOUDS, a charmingly acted and richly-detailed period-piece."
