Jennifer Embelton is an emerging video artist and filmmaker from Brisbane, Australia.

She is currently completing a BFA in Film, Television and New Media at Queensland University of Technology. Her work attempts to explore and challenge ideals of beauty and normality both in film style and in subject matter through an exploitation of digital video, 35mm film and stock footage.

Her works are concerned with challenging narrative expectations by reconstructing the aesthetics of her work to engage in a dialogue with the viewer. Her images can exist in isolation, but when viewed together they provoke a contrast between everyday themes of normality, banality, beauty and destruction.

Noelia Ramon is a spanish journalist, specialised in TV, film and photography, with more than 14 years of experience. She has worked as a Tv News journalist in different National mass media and channels in Spain and Europe during 10 years and, at the same time, she also had her own business in Europe based on: documentaries/features, communication campaigns for different institutions and companies, web design and digital journalism.

Now, she lives in Australia permanently and she has her own business again: Telling Life. What she does is specially telling stories through video and photography (corporate, cultural, social, dance/sports, video profiles, timelapse photography…) and she also has been developing a career in dance and artistic photography in the last few years. Actually, she was one of the 8 photographers who assisted to a professional dance photography workshop in New York, last April.

She says that when she’s filming or taking photos, she feels that she’s flying and time stops. She doesn’t understand life without pictures, without video or without telling stories… These are her passions and they live with her. She’s a ‘story-teller of life’, and because of that, she tells stories from the heart.
