Welcome to Flatpack...
The Flatpack Festival is rolling into Birmingham once again, a juggernaut of cinematic goodies taking over venues across the city from 1-4 February. Emboldened by the excellent audiences and effusive feedback which greeted the first edition, organisers 7 Inch Cinema have beefed up the programme with more special events, more venues, and even more eye-opening and unusual films.
The festival remains fiendishly difficult to summarise, but intrepid punters can expect to find shorts, animation, music documentaries, independent features, live soundtracks, discussion events, web oddities, installations, parties and plenty more besides - with a general focus on people using limited resources in imaginative ways. The very lovely Electric cinema, perched right behind New St station and approaching its hundredth year of showing films, will again host the main screening programme along with the mac and Odeon, while other hidden treats can be found in bars, warehouses and churches throughout Birmingham.
A selection of highlights can be found on the right, or you can hunt down a particular film/venue by using the drop-down menus on the left. We look forward to seeing you at the festival...
