FILM IS FABULOUS - SUNDAY, 29th OCTOBER 2023

Film Is Fabulous! was a joint effort with other organizations and primarily the De Montfort University to ensure film is preserved for future generations. Much promotion was carried out for this convention and many flyers were produced for that purpose. Mainstream media, including broadcast television ensued and as I type this more than two weeks after the event we are still getting press coverage in national newspapers.


Film is Fabulous to be held at:

The Phoenix Cinema and Art Centre
