City on Screen

City on Screen is a documentary exploring the part that the people of Birmingham have played in shaping the cinematic and television landscape. The film explores the legacy that people like Sir Michael Balcon, Oscar Deutsch and others have left in the world of film and examines how new and emerging filmmakers from the city can follow in the steps of trailblazers such as Steven Knight, Dame Julie Walters, Felicity Jones and others – in safeguarding, preserving and continuing Birmingham’s often overlooked place in the world of cinema. 

Called “A timely and important piece” and “a must see” this five-star rated film celebrates Birmingham’s creative past and shows how much we have to look forward to

The Cinema is a five minute walk from Birmingham Moor St Station or a ten minute walk from New Street Station. There are multiple car parks around carparking, café availability etc.) Digbeth and lots of local, independent businesses to explore nearby. Drinks (soft and alcoholic) and snacks are available at the Cinema to take into the screening.
