Dear all, Just to let you know about a new film initiative that I am involved with which I think is very exciting. I hope that you do to. It's called 'Film is Fabulous' and the main aim is to raise awareness for and of film collectors and their collections. But it's also a celebration of the art of the motion picture, anything that is on film. That can be cinema, commercials, television and home movies. Much of this content, which is in film collections around the country is at risk as film collectors get older. The Film is Fabulous initiative, coupled with the event in October aims to reverse the trend of valuable collections ending up in landfill. If you are a film collector, or know a collector or of a collection at risk, or are merely interested in film and television, this event is for you. Alongside film dealers who will have a mixture of film of various formats to sell will be some private collections, plus projectors and other equipment. In addition, there will be a series of panel discussions throughout the day with guest speakers discussing film and collecting, archiving, television and the transition from celluloid to digital. The location is the Phoenix Arts Cinema in the heart of Leicester. There are good train links and plenty of available parking. We will be announcing the material that has turned up so far due to the initiative. Find out more by following the link here: filmisfabulous.org.uk/Tickets are limited and it's first come first served! Paul
