‘It’s also back to the ’80s for recent OnSight project Tish, a documentary about the life and work of prolific North-East photographer Tish Murtha which opened Sheffield DocFest. Led in part by Ella, Murtha’s daughter, the documentary is directed by Paul Sng, produced by Jennifer Corcoran through Freya Films and Sng’s Velvet Joy Productions, with cinematography by Hollie Galloway, and the voice of Tish played by Maxine Peake. The production has received support from the BBC, British Film Institute (BFI), and Screen Scotland. OnSight’s colourist, Emily Russul Saib, completed a four-day projection grade for the documentary, which comprises various interviews shot on Sony A7s in Rec709, film archive which was corrected and balanced, reconstruction filmed on the ARRI Alexa Mini in Log C, and a selection of Murtha’s striking black and white photographs. The project was overseen by OnSight’s post producer Cem Kilinchan.’
