Carousel - Slide Slam |

OPEN-MIC SLIDE SLAM AT HOST "Photography is communication, and the strength of images lies in the messages they can convey to their audience. Carousel evenings combine film, photography, typography, the spoken word, music and sound to create a truly multi-discipline, creative environment for experiencing new works by photographers, designers and the new generation of media producers. Using any means necessary to tell the story, Carousel will throw out the rulebook, open up the box, and provide a platform for documentary makers from all walks of life to share their most creative works and reach their audience." (Jon Levy, Foto8) "Carousel Slide Slam offers the chance to tell your story, to inspire and to be inspired. It's the place to see some of the most exciting creative works around." (Rachel Stanley, Blurb Books) Foto8 and Blurb are pleased to invite photographers, broadcasters, designers and producers to take part in this special evening of moving visual narratives.
