Slowcoast and New York Shorts

life.still previews the 'Bicycle Portraits' slideshow at the Flashcube event - The Cube Cinema, Bristol


There were some gems at the Flashcube event. Firstly three slideshows and a talk by Nick Hand. Slowcoast is a journey Nick made on his bike from Bristol around the coast of Britain. Nick also documented artisans he met along the way using a combination of images with audio to produce short documentary films.

Bill the stick maker was particularly good, we all went away marvelling at such a great storyteller and decided we all really wanted one of Bill's beautifully crafted sticks - even though we didn't really need one. The images were wonderful and Bill was a great character, I highly recommend watching it and many of the other slideshows on his site.

Secondly New York Shorts by Naren Wilkes - the sounds and images were intense, really emphasising the high octane experience of New York.

Over the next few weeks of the Bristol Festival of Photography the team here at life.still will be doing our very best to blog about all the events we go to see, so stay tuned....
