Island City Stories is a collaborative project between students and staff in The Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries (CCI) and local independent businesses and community groups in Portsmouth. The project began in January 2014, with twelve local businesses across Portsmouth chosen to be part of the 1st phase pilot.
Students from BA Film & TV Production were paired up with these initial twelve businesses and each of their stories were captured with creative and insightful short films. The businesses involved in 2014 are:
Southsea Greenhouse
Bellamy’s Antiques
Make Craft Cafe
Anglepoise Ltd
Atelier Art Gallery and Art School
Ye Olde Bike Shoppe
Southsea Deckchairs
Southsea Coffee
Head Hairdressing
Sweetie Pie – Gluten Free Bakery
All About Tea
Bored of Southsea
Businesses lined up for 2015 already include Tony Wood Hairdresser, Pie & Vinyl, Bread Addiction & Yellow Kite Cafe.
Students from BA Illustration were also involved in the project by designing the logo/branding for ‘Island City Stories’.
