15th December 2011 at 7pm. Deadline 10th December 2011. Midnight GMT

Instant Coffees will feature a special selection encapsulating the theme of CELEBRATION.

We are looking for slideshows, photo-films or multimedia that show celebration in all its forms. This could be a series of images surrounding religious or pagan rites, personal or public events, festivals, or simply a series of images that celebrate the diversity of a community. We would like to give photographers the chance to express their own unique view of this theme and in particular work that re-interprets the idea of celebration.

Submission deadline is 10th December 2011 and you can find submission details here.

We are also very pleased to have Daniel Meadows, photographer and lecturer at Newport’s School of Art and Design and at Cardiff University, along for the evening to give a talk about digital storytelling and his work as a documentarist.*

This event will be a celebration of a year of Instant Coffees and would like to invite you all to attend the evening of festivities, drink, food and other surprises.

* He is best known for his work as a documentarist, in particular for two projects: his Free Photographic Omnibus (1973-74) when he toured Britain in a double-decker bus, establishing free studios in towns and cities across the country; and Capture Wales (2001-2008) the innovative digital storytelling work he initiated for the BBC. Meadows lectures in photography and participatory media at the School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies at Cardiff University. He is the author of five books including Living Like This (1975) and The Bus (2001). His photography and multimedia work has been widely exhibited both in the UK and abroad.

Stephane C. Instant Coffees award. EMERGENT LLEIDA PHOTO FESTIVAL

El equivoco — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:41:17 +0000

Many congratulations on receiving the Instant Coffees award for your work entitled “They never adopted the name of themselves” recently exhibited at the Emergent-Lleida Photography Festival.

As you may know our organisation has a keen interest in new multimedia productions – with the specific aim of allowing authors the space to both create and promote their vision to new audiences. And in this light, the aims of our award are ones designed to specifically aid a photographer in the production and promotion of new works.

In this sense, we would like to collaborate with Stephane C on the next stage of this project. We believe in the importance of what he is doing and believe in him as a photographer; and as such, we would like to offer our help to him in getting this work out into the world.

Stephane C. “They never adopted the name of themselves”

Many thanks to Emergent LLeida Photo Festival to bring us this opportunity to collaborate and support with the finalist.

Special edition at Roof Unit. Photomonth East London

El equivoco — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 13:18:48 +0000

On Wednesday (October 19th) last week Instant Coffees set off for the bright lights of London for it’s first screening outside of Bristol at the wonderful Roof Unit in Bethnal Green.

This was my first Instant Coffees screening,(after being involved behind the scenes for awhile), and away from it’s home turf, of Bristol, I was a little worried about how it would go on the night, and let’s face it, if anyone would turn up.

But the tell-tale buzzing in of people in the background as Alejandro set up the projector and sorted the the screening out (by the way, many thanks to Tim for the loan of his Macbook!!) would settle my concerns and a little after 7pm the proceedings of the night commenced with Alejandro acting as the master of ceremonies on the night.

On the night, myself,(Andrew Jackson), Ben Roberts and Stuart Matthews would be on hand to talk about their screenings in between the works of a range of other fantastic contributions.

To have Ben and Stuart on hand to explain and discuss their works, approaches and future intentions really made the night for me….and I really looking forward to seeing how their works develop in the future.

There was a great buzz on the night, a feeling of community amongst photographers sharing their work in an appreciative and enquiring atmosphere.

Much of that must be down to the excellent facilities at the Roof Unit and the excellent help the Roof Unit team offered us on the night – and of course to everyone who came out to show their support – we owe you all so much and we hope to see you again.
