Last weekend saw the international premiere of our latest commissioned project Feedback by Hellicar & Lewis at Banff Summer Arts Festival, followed by a week-long artist’s residency.

The interactive installation was projected across the interior windows of the brand new Kinnear Building – a Centre for Creativity & Innovation in the inspiring surroundings of the Canadian mountains, which Banff hopes will be “a meeting place where innovative arts and ideas, and creative leadership will flourish.”

We were really pleased to be involved with the Banff Summer Arts Festival, as-well as the opening of the Kinnear building, so a big thanks to Hellicar & Lewis and the Banff team.

We hope lots of you can make it along to to our events, and if you do we hope you enjoy them as much as we will!

As part of the 2010 D&AD student awards, we were proud to sponsor the moving image category, as well as set the following brief that the students would use as inspiration for their projects:

“The city is constantly in transition and mutation, disappearing behind changing environments and shifting identities. create your own ‘adventure in motion’ that explores this.”

We had a fantastic response to the brief with 134 submissions, giving the judges a tough task.

The award ceremony took place last week in the centre of London’s glitzy Spitafields market, and onedotzero director Shane Walter was on hand to present the worthy winners with their D&AD pencils.

First place went to Matthew Young [University of Leeds] for his short animation ‘The City’.

Matthew’s film will now feature in our 2010 onedotzero_adventures in motion festival at BFI Southbank, London from 10-14 of November, and our international tour, as part of the ‘citystates 10′ program.

We were so impressed with the quality and diversity of the work that was submitted, that we awarded two second place pencils.

One went to Rob Francis (London College of Communication) for his short film ‘Project Atlantis’ , and the other went to Aki Chang, Fulya Gulel & Luis R. Serrano (Miami Ad School) for their film which encouraged audience participation.

Congratulations to the winners, and a big thank you to D&AD and all the students who took part in our brief.

As you may remember from our last newsletter we’re really excited about the launch of the full-length version of Coalition of the Willing this week.

Led by director Simon Robson [aka Knife Party] and writer Tim Rayner, Coalition of the Willing is a collaboration by 24 filmakers from around the world who have come together to create a 15 minute film about the online war against global warming.

Their individual, eclectic styles compliment and illustrate the narrative beautifully, really bringing the ideology behind the film to life.

To celebrate, Nexus are hosting the film’s official launch event at a secret location in Bethnal Green on Wednesday 30 June from 6.30pm.

onedotzero’s director Shane Walter will be joining the celebrations as a guest panellist alongside the film’s creators, key contributors and other guest speakers who will all offer valuable insight into the project and issues surrounding it for an invited audience.

We have 20 tickets to give away courtesy of the lovely people at Nexus. Tickets will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
Please send your request by 5pm on Tuesday 29 June to beccym@nexusproductions.com

Successful applicants will be sent the full event details.

Please don’t worry if you’re not one of the lucky ones to win a ticket, the full-length film goes live at coalitionofthewilling.org.uk on Thursday 1 July 2010.
