I had plans to don my reporters hat and head off to see internationally revered film maker Mike Figgis speaking at the Boilerhouse (Thursday) Flatpack Festival (Friday / Saturday / Sunday) and The Haunting (Friday night). It seems I am not the only one Nicky from Digbeth is Good has also missed out on all the fun due to the mystery bug.

Thank goodness for Flatpack’s guest blogger Eleanor McKeown. London based Eleanor works for quarterly cinema magazine Electric Sheep and popped up from the capital to experience the weird wonderment of Flatpack Festival, and to stay in the historic back to backs. Her very specific knowlege base and the fact she is an out of towner makes for interesting reading, though photos to illustrate the words would have been nice.

Oscar-nominated film director Mike Figgis to speak at Boilerhouse Voices http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/2009/02/19/oscar-nominated-film-director-mike-figgis-to-speak-at-boilerhouse-voices/ Thu, 19 Feb 2009 00:08:28 +0000 http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/?p=3099 [Read more...]]]> Twice Oscar-nominated film director Mike Figgis will be coming to Birmingham on 12 March as the latest speaker in the Boilerhouse Voices series of events staged by Jewellery Quarter based communications consultancy Boilerhouse. Figgis will address an invited audience of Boilerhouse guests, but a limited number of tickets will be available to creative industries professionals on an application basis.

Mike Figgis, whose Hollywood credits include Leaving Las Vegas and Internal Affairs, is a visionary filmmaker who thrives on taking artistic risks. For the last decade, he has been working at the cutting edge of creative digital video. His film Timecode was a product of this, shot in a single day without a script and using four digital cameras to create separate stories unfolding simultaneously in real time on a quadruple split screen.

If you would like to apply for a ticket contact Rob Adams: rob.adams@boilerhouse.co.uk.
