Capture 15 - Pandora

This week Pandora is showing at the workstation. James' hard work has finally come to an end with the creation of his version of pandora's box. He is aiming to get across the feeling of claustrophobia and unease, but as well as the relief of coming out to the normal world. If any of you are free be sure to come and view his installation on the 20th of May to view his creation and to show your support for emerging local sheffield artists. The installation will be open from 11 till 5 for you all to drop in.

Capture 15 - films

With Capture 15 on tonight there is plenty to look forward too. All the films have been tested, the posters printed, and hopefully booze delivered! Tonight the level 6 film and media production students from Sheffield Hallam will be premiering their final films being made on this course. Taking place at the showroom cinema we will all be dressing up to watch everybody else's films. Afterwards there will be drinks at the showroom bar before moving onto Sheffield's premium late bar SOYO to make good use of their VIP room to party into night...
Hopefully these wont be the final films we see from all of our students as they will hopefully go on to promising film careers after their time at Hallam.

Extended trailer


In the run up to James installation being shown at Capture 15, we have decided to edit together a new extended trailer! Check it out and let us know what you think via Facebook. We will see you guys on the 20th of may!
