1. Tuesday 14th September, 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm at Light House Media Centre

    Light House are delighted to showcase Made in Birmingham at this month’s Screen Forum, a 60 minute music documentary that charts the cultural, social and political background of three music genres that have been strongly associated with the city: Reggae, Punk & Bhangra.
     
    The film, directed by Black Country based director Deborah Aston, includes archive footage and contributions from some of the most exciting and influential bands and artists to come out of the West Midlands, including Brian Travers (UB40) Dennis Seaton (Musical Youth), Amlak Tafari (Steel Pulse), Pete Hammond and Paul Foad (Au Pairs), Pato Banton (The Beat), and Kevin Rowland (Dexys Midnight Runners) to name a few.
     
    The Screen Forum will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers and networking in Lock Works. The film is funded through the Digital Archive Fund c/o Screen WM and draws extensively on a host of regional, national and international film archives, including the Media Archive for Central England, ITV, OOM Gallery, and Artclips/Paris.
     
    Admission free. To reserve a place email: info@light-house.co.uk
