Birmingham International Film Club
Presented by Heather & Ivan Morison and hosted by Springhill Institute
Projector, films, interested people We ran the first season of Birmingham International Film Club from August to September 2004. The idea of the Film Club followed on from the unrealised Shrewsbury International Science Fiction Film Festival. For each meeting of Film Club a different selector was invited to select three films from a genre of their choosing. All the films were free to watch, and open to anyone. During the second film we cooked dinner for those present. The flier for Birmingham International Film Club and the programme can be viewed as a pdf by clicking here (download Acrobat Reader).
