FOTO8

Foto8 announces a special Carousel Slide Slam event in Derby as part of the Format Festival.

Foto8 and Blurb are pleased to invite photographers, broadcasters, designers and producers to take part in this special evening of moving visual narratives.

“Foto8 and Blurb’s Carousel Slide Slam provides an ideal platform for photographers to promote their work within the photographic community,” explained Teresa Pereira, Blurb’s Senior Director of European Market Development. “ Photography is about so much more than the image and, at the Carousel Slide Slam, photographers aren’t just given the chance to display their work but also the opportunity to tell the story behind the images.”

Perform your own six-minute short or photographic project or just sit back and enjoy the mix as Harry Hardie lines up guest projectionists as they combine slide shows, film, music and live performance along with audience participation.
