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.Â 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.Â Our own Roger Shannon produced the film and will be introducing it.Â Here’s the flyer:

Film Forum West Midlands has been set up following a conversation at the last Birmingham Film Makers meet organised via Facebook.Â Taking its cue from the Animation Forum WM:

TheÂ focus of this blogÂ is toÂ expose opportunities and bring people together from different disciplines of filmmaking, with the aim that theseÂ lovely people will mingle, learn and thrive of each others support to helpÂ strengthen the Midlandsâ€™ position within the media industry.

The first post only went up yesterday, so give them a little time to pretty it up, but this is one to subscribe to if you’re in any way interested in film in the West Mids.
