Bach and Beckett
The Anthony Minghella Scholarship fund at Quay Arts
What?
A fund set up in memory of Anthony Minghella to provide opportunities for young people to develop their skills and knowledge of filmmaking, drama and music. The aim of the fund is to help grow young film, drama and musical talent on the Island and to provide motivated and talented young people with resources and opportunities to develop and showcase their talents.
Our plans for the fund include be the establishment of a young people’s film group, with the aim of showcasing the finished works at Quay Arts. The money will also be used to subsidise places for motivated and talented young people with limited resources to attend courses and workshops in film, drama and music. Funds will be made available to individuals through personal application, with the aim being to support young people who show particular promise, motivation and dedication in their chosen field.
We are particularly interested in ensuring that this fund reflects the wide spectrum of artistic interests and ability that Anthony Minghella himself displayed as well as the recognition that arts are not always easily compartmentalised into separate boxes. We would therefore hope that the work produced celebrates the natural creative interplay between disciplines.
Why Bach and Beckett?
“The two major discoveries in my young adulthood were Bach and Beckett. For both its true that there's this monkish, extremely rare and dry surface, underneath which there is a volcano”
