Marc Issacs - Lift

   lift gives an insight to the everyday lives of residents living in a tower block in London. Heartwarming and full of personal reflection, this short documentary reveals the hardship and thoughts that occupy the everyday mind. Directed over the course of ten weeks, director Marc Issacs forms bonds and friendships with several of the residents. As they're relationship develops Issacs asks questions which give chilling and often thought provoking answers. Such as what is your favouirte childhood memory? What did you dream of last night? And are you a religious person? Filmed at the most part in a point of view method,  lift is filled with emotional attachment that many other shorts strive to capture. Silence plays a key factor in lift yet gives a familiar tone that is often felt in any elevator.
