\nFlatpack 9<\/B>

\n19-29 March 2015

\nBirmingham, UK

\nFlatpack website<\/A>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We are very proud to be presenting Ana Lily Amirpour\u2019s wonderful A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night<\/I><\/B><\/A> at the Flatpack Film Festival in Birmingham on March 27. A stylish, melancholy tale about a chador-wearing skateboarding vampire girl unfolding in an Iranian dreamland, set to an Italian Western-inspired score and shot in magnificent widescreen black and white, it is an absolute treat that must be seen on a big screen. <\/p>\n

Running from 19 to 29 March, the always excellent Flatpack once more offers a unique, inventive mix of features, shorts, exhibitions, installations, workshops, walks and performances in a variety of venues across Birmingham, ranging from cafes to a cathedral. <\/p>\n

Among the highlights, Flatpack pays homage to the Japanese tradition of Benshi, the art of live film narration with Japanese silent film screenings, Ghostbusters <\/em>and workshops. There is also cut-out animation with Paper Cinema\u2019s take on The Odyssey<\/I>, a cine-journey through a city with Vicki Bennett\u2019s Citation City<\/I>, an Edwardian Horror Show, interactive animation exhibition Amusement Park from Finland, a participatory dinner installation from Denmark using Oculus Rift technology, and a Roy Andersson retrospective.<\/p>\n

Feature films include Electric Sheep favourites Sion Sono\u2019s delirious yakuza musical Tokyo Tribe<\/I><\/A>, Miroslav Slaboshpitsky\u2019s powerful sign-language drama The Tribe<\/I><\/A>. In the documentary programme, we highly recommend Tim Grabham and Jasper Sharp\u2019s exploration of the strange world of slime mould The Creeping Garden<\/I>, and look forward to Tim K. Smith\u2019s documentary Sex and Broadcasting<\/I>, about the listener-funded independent US radio station WFMU and Mina Mileva and Vesela Kazakova\u2019s Uncle Tony, The Three Fools and the Secret Service<\/I>, which questions the official history of 70s Bulgarian animation.<\/p>\n
