The films to be shown are:

  • 12 Chairs (8 May, 8pm)
  • Beloved (20 May, 6pm and 8.15pm)
  • Death Of A Bureaucrat (5 June, 7.30pm with a talk)
  • The Adventures Of Juan Quin Quin (17 June, 6pm and 8.15pm)
  • A Successful Man (10 July, 7.30pm with talk)

with more details of each film on the Cuba Solidarity website. Tickets are £3.50 (conc £2.50) and are available in person at the library, by telephone on 0121 303 2323 or at www.birminghamboxoffice.com.

Before tonight’s film there’s a gala reception at 7pm, although I have no idea what that might entail. If you go you’d best assume it’s black tie and arrive in a limo, just in case.

Unfortunately BIFS itself doesn’t seem to have any sort of web-presence but I’m sure that’ll be rectified soon (hint! – just as Pete was, I’m free for tea and a chat about this kind of thing). According to comments on The Stirrer, they’re looking to show the international films that the multiplexes and The Electric can’t/won’t.
