Shortlisted for the Visionary Award from the Tim Hetherington Trust 2018

OSCAR CASTILLO shortlisted for “Under Our Control”.  Oscar was an early recipient of an award in Tim’s name when in 2013 the Eddie Adams Workshop recognised his extraordinary investigation of the culture of violence in Venezuela.  Five years on he is still adding depth to this study of a country at risk as “the borders between political power and criminality are more and more diffuse.” Currently focused on incarceration the project illustrates the problem of rampant imprisonment and adds the rarely heard voice of those working to ensure a constructive and sustainable reinsertion into society, even as the country struggles with an economy in freefall.  This will be documentary with a difference: a “box set” comprising Hip Hop, video, a zine, a photographic e-book and more.
