Flatpack Festival 2010
Posted by Fabio 15 March 2010
This year Flatpack Film Festival in Birmingham will be looking at the original Odeon cinemas which were built across the UK in the late 1920s – 1930s by a man called Oscar Deutsch. (ODEON = Oscar Deutsch Entertains Our Nation). Many of the cinemas were built in unremarkable suburbs across the Midlands, with the aim that these amazing places of magic and imagination were on the doorstep of regular suburban districts and towns.
The festival includes a special bus tour around the original sites, as well as a screening in the Electric Cinema in central Birmingham, which is the oldest working cinema in the UK.
