Film is Fabulous! N/A

The Film is Fabulous! team is working closely with De Montfort University's Cinema and Television History Institute (CATHI) to preserve film treasures for future generations. Their aim is to protect vulnerable film collections held privately in the United Kingdom, by raising awareness of the issues within the film collecting community.

Film is Fabulous! will feature:

• an exclusive screening of filmmaker Rob Murphy’s documentary about the change from celluloid to digital cinema and the loss of film treasures, entitled Splice Here: A Projected Odyssey;
• special guests from film and television, with expert knowledge of film collections and preservation;
• discussions on the archiving of film, missing television episodes and digital cinema projection;
• screenings of 35mm and Super 8 films, including the largest projected image of Super 8 in Britain;
• film dealers offering a wide selection of formats and titles, plus a ‘bring & buy’ table for attendees.

PLEASE NOTE: This event is not part of Phoenix's own film programme. It is an external event organised and run by the Film is Fabulous! team and De Montfort University's Cinema and Television History Institute (CATHI), who have hired one of our screens for their event. Phoenix is providing Box Office services as part of the hire.
