LEEDS MET INSPIRED BY THE MILL
We’re working with Chetwoods and students from Leeds Metropolitan University’s Graphic Arts and Design course on some possible designs to bring to life the lobby areas outside the lift space running through each floor of Marshall’s Mill.
Twelve students in their final year of the course were invited down to Marshall’s Mill to receive the brief from Simon Baker at Chetwoods to create a series of graphic artworks which would also incorporate way finding in the building.
The students have now gone away to work up their concepts and will submit them early next year. Igloo and Chetwoods will then consider the designs and see which they’d like to progress to become a real art installation on the walls of the Mill next year.
UK GREEN FILM FESTIVAL IS BACK...
We’re pleased to announce that the UK Green Film Festival is set to return in 2012 following the success of the first festival, which in May 2011, attracted thousands of cinema goers across the UK to a weekend of the best films, documentaries and shorts that highlight climate change and other environmental issues. The festival, which was founded by volunteers from Igloo and has formative links to the San Francisco and Washington DC environmental film festivals, will take place from 18-20 May here in Leeds at the charming Hyde Park Cinema, as well as in Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leicester, London and Nottingham, with several additional cities and venues still to be announced. So, stay green and watch this space!
