Flatpack Festival 2010

Flatpack Festival, the eclectic film festival organised by 7 inch Cinema is nearly upon us! From 23-28 March, the festival will be taking over venues across Birmingham including Eastside.  Flatpack will be taking film to an array of unexpected places, from re-scored silent cinema masterpieces to plasticine parties, cult horror to fantasy musicals.

Highlights include a screening of F.W. Murnau’s 1927 marvel Sunrise with a new score by acclaimed jazz musician Alcyona Mick at St. Martin’s Church in the Bullring. French artist Julien Maire will also be performing at Birmingham Central Library and Vivid, playing with technology to create bewitching optical illusions.

Dublin collective Synth Eastwood will have a mini-residency at the Rainbow Warehouse, building up to a warehouse event blurring the boundaries between gallery and club on Friday 26 March. Expect an eye-opening stew of graphics, installations, music and performance. Live guests include Clark (Warp), AV duo Gangpol and Mit and YouTube provocateur Hugh Cooney.
