A WINDERMERE filmmaker has promised viewers drama and tension from his latest production, which wrapped last week. Thomas Gardner, who directed a documentary about the Windermere Children entitled ‘Route to Paradise’ in 2019, was taken back in time to World War One for his latest film ‘The Fronts of War.’ The eight-minute feature is co-written with screenwriter Olivia Lewis-Brown and focuses on the personal lives of two soldiers in the trenches in The Somme, 1916. It began production in Maidstone, Kent where Mr Gardener worked closely with Andy Robertshaw who served as historical and military advisor on Steven Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’ and Sam Mendes’ BAFTA award winning ‘1917’.

The scheme will see the conversion of the building into 47 one-bedroom units on two floors while the basement will provide a gym, study area, lounge and laundry facilities for University of Central Lancashire students.
Climate change: Is ecoguilt changing the way we travel?
Humans have long been driven by a desire to explore the planet and visit faraway places. But with tourism s toll on the environment now calling our globetrotting habits into question, some say it s time for change.
The rise of social media has changed the way many people think about tourism
Tourism accounts for roughly 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and it s a sector that is projected to keep growing.
That s a big concern for Richard Sharpley, professor of tourism and development at the University of Central Lancashire in the UK.
He has been intrigued by the meaning of tourism and why we as humans feel compelled to travel since he went on a backpacking trip around Asia in the mid-1980s. That was a different time. Social media didn t exist, there were few low-cost airlines, and there was no Fridays for Future movement raising awareness about the emissions from flights, for example.
