      Still: Adult Fun
      James SCOTT (1941, UK) is the son of British artist William Scott. He was given a box camera at the age of nine, which sparked his love for photography. He attended Slade School for Fine Arts to study Painting and Theatre Design. During his studies, he directed his celebrated first film, The Rocking Horse (1962). The short film A Shocking Accident (1982) was nominated for a BAFTA for Best Short Film and won an Oscar for Best Short Film, Live Action. In 1990, he released Strike It Rich, before taking a 12-year break from filmmaking. In 2017, he made the personal documentary Vanishing Point, which he filmed on his iPhone. The short documentary Fragments had its world premiere at IFFR 2020.
