We thought this screening would be apt after a summer and autumn of exciting festivals around the country.
So come and join us for a free screening of film that explores Edinburgh Festival as never seen before. If you have ever been to Edinburgh Festival you will love it, it you have never been before you will want to go next year...
The screening will be introduced by one of the films Executive Producers – Birmingham’s very own Roger Shannon. Director Annie Griffin can’t be with us for the event, but she has sent through the following words...
"I'm very excited that Festival is to be shown in Birmingham, and sorry I can't be with you. The script was inspired by my having spent many seasons at the Edinburgh fringe, as both a performer and an audience member.
Since I have moved in my work life from being a performer to a director, the lives of performers seem increasingly strange to me. It is impressive how much an actor will endure just for the chance to get up in front of people and act. Festival is looking at those performers and at the uncertainties of life on the fringe.
I've watched the film with quite a few film audiences since its release. Although I appreciate that people find it funny in places, it's all true. Having done four one woman shows, and handed out ten million leaflets on the High Street, it feels more like a documentary to an Edinburgh veteran." – Annie Griffin
