To say we’re excited about this would be the ultimate in understatement. Those magnificent people at Flatpack have put together an incredible month long season of Brum related screen delights for you to enjoy. To cherry pick recommendations for your eager eyes is nigh on impossible due to the breadth of quality, relevance and research that has gone into curating this gem. We heartily recommended you get your brain boxes over to the Flatpack website to peruse the catalogue, buy tickets and note times of free events. The centre piece is a canalside screening of the bizarre Cliff Richard vehicle ‘Take Me High’. Cliff and the gang invent a new culinary delight in the Brumburger and sing and dance about it through the streets of 1973 Birmingham. We kid you not. Expect daily Twitter updates from us throughout the season.

Fri 16 Sep – Sat 15 Oct, various venues &prices. See: flatpackfestival.org.uk/
