The website for the Film Forum West Midlands, which I mentioned just the other day, has been spruced up and is looking very nice indeed.  The domain name is now filmforumwm.co.uk and if you subscribed to the earlier version of the blog you’ll need to update to this new one.

With all that said, they have news of a free screening of ‘Festival’ at the Library Theatre on 19 Nov at 7pm.  Our own Roger Shannon produced the film and will be introducing it.  Here’s the flyer:

An exhibition currently running at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery showcases the photography of Pogus Caesar, one of Birmingham’s most important visual artists.

The exhibition, That Beautiful Thing, features 43 photographs selected from a portfolio that runs into several thousands taken over a 20 year period both in the UK and abroad.

Putting the breadth and importance of Pogus Caesar’s work in perspective is a tricky thing – he’s well known for his photos of 1985′s Handsworth riots (the pic above being an example) but his experience, travels and areas of work are all incredibly wide. Roger Shannon does a good job of pulling it all together in this Birmingham Post article.

The exhbition runs until 12 July.  In addition, on 3 July from 6-8pm at the Light House, Caesar will celebrate

20 years working in Television and Film with a screening of selected highlights from his award winning career, including work produced and directed for Central TV, BBC, Channel 4 and Carlton Television.

Throughout the screening he’ll be in conversation with Prof Shannon.  Entrance is free.
