Best of photography and film submissions from the East and West Midlands.

3rd March – 27th May 2012

Exhibition around QUAD Corridors and Digital Screens


FORMAT, QUAD and Light House, Wolverhampton, have collaborated to showcase some of the best emerging photographers and film-makers from the East and West Midlands. From a documentary exploring strong women and alcoholism in India to a fairytale hero conquering evil, this exhibition responds to QUADs upcoming film festival ID Fest which explores identity within film through the theme of heroes.

This exhibiton is a result of a photography and film open call which sought to discover talent within the East and West Midlands. Photography submissions were judged by leading international photographer Simon Roberts, Louise Clements, artistic director at QUAD and FORMAT and Kathryn Kliszat, curator at Light House Media Centre. Film submissions were judged by film and video director Doug Smith, Adam Buss, director of audience engagement at QUAD, and Adam Marsh, QUAD cinema programmer.

Curated by Jill Carruthers and Michael Sargeant in collaboration with the artists.
