Melanie Manchot's new film is set in the past and present
Melanie Manchot, 57, is a filmmaker and artist. For over a decade now, she has been working on the subject of addiction and recovery. It was here she developed a friendship with Stephen Giddings, who grew up in Kirkby .
Speaking to the ECHO, she said: “I’ve been working with Stephen for a number of years. We discovered he had a talent for acting. When the camera was on, another Stephen Giddings emerged.” Melanie wanted to set the film in Liverpool, and came across a piece from 1901 called Arrest of Goudie. It is the first film filmed in Liverpool and is also the first film ever to reconstruct a crime. It recreates the arrest of Thomas Goudie, a bank employee who embezzled £170,000 to pay gambling debts.
