Reframing the suburban cinema: community, memory, and new opportunities
This project will explore Birmingham’s suburban cinema stories through an engagement with people, places, and artefacts. Further extending Flatpack’s Wonderland project, it will collate public memories of cinema, and explore alternative narratives of place and locality to inform new understandings of suburban cinema-going, past, present and possible futures. Flatpack is a charitable organisation with a twenty-year track record of delivering high quality film and arts events, including the annual Flatpack Festival.
