Based on feedback from our first crit session, I decided to broaden my wayfinding system to aid with direction around the November event, Leeds International Film Festival, of which Hyde Park Picture House is a part of as a venue to exhibit art show films. The event also began at the Picture House in 1987 and includes a total of 28 other venues, including The Tetley, Leeds College of Music, Left Bank and Leeds Bridge.
Leeds International Film Festival is the largest film festival held in the United Kingdom outside of London and has shown over 300 films from around the world, including shorts, features, independent and commercial films.
One of the themes of last year's 30th International Film Festival was light, shadows and reflections. This is based on many of the art films shown at the festival, which included the first black and white films to be shot in Leeds, a film called 'Shadows' which features jazz scores from Charles Mingus and Shofi Hadi, and Clemens Kloffenstein's nigh films, such as 'Story of Night'. I will use this as the main themes of my wayfinding system, creating symbols based on this idea of light and shadows, which also has cultural references to these films and events.
