New London multimedia and photography festival, Night Contact, is launched. Established to bring together and display exciting and innovative photographic works that engage with other media, Night Contact will be a one night event in Dalston, East London taking place in September 2013.
Festival
Projections of photography related mixed media work will be screened across seven venues in indoor and outdoor spaces. The festival will run from dusk until 12 midnight on Friday 27th September. It will be open to all and free to attend.
Centered around Gillett Square, a large public space in Dalston, East London, a specially installed bank of screens will show site-specific commissioned and curated work. There will be stalls, music, food and drink, with vouchers offering deals at local bars and eateries. Beyond the main square, the festival will break out into a trail of six satellite venues, taking over the streets of Dalston across outdoor spaces, bars and music venues, each showing a programmed screening.
The majority of the work shown will come from open submissions; these will be accompanied by a curated program to ensure a varied, engaging line-up.
Call for existing work
Night Contact are looking for interesting and innovative bodies of work from artists engaged with photography, to be shown in one of our of six satellite projection spaces around the main square of the event.
Because work shown at the festival will be entirely by projection, we are looking to programme work that brings something new to this format.
