Although Thursday Flickers is on its Summer Holidays, it does not mean that movies aren't going to be an important part of the Art Gallery in the next few months.
Film makers from the West Midlands have been invited to create a short film inspired by Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum's collections, the Royal Pump Rooms building or Leamington Spa. These short films will be shown on the Art Gallery and Museum's mezzanine level film screen in the local history gallery through summer.
It is expected that thousands of visitors will see the films and vote for their favourite. The movie with the most votes will win the Best Film Award and £150 prize money. The Leamington based film and photography shop London Camera Exchange has contributed to the award money.
From July 22 onwards the public can vote for their favourite Museum Movies so if you are interested come and have a look. It's a great opportunity to see new talent! And you are all invited to the Award Ceremony on the 23rd of September.
Talking of Opportunities, Summer Shorts is offering free media experience through the summer. They are offering the chance for to work alongside a professional production company on a short film getting you 'behind the scenes' experience of the whole production process.
