The biggest musical blockbusters will be on the big screen at this year’s Film Festival, as voting is now officially open for the pitch perfect shortlist!
Now in its 8th year, the popular outdoor Film Festival will take place in Central Square from Monday 15th to Sunday 21st July. Voting is now live so it’s up to the public to choose which of their favourite music-themed movies they want to see.
From classics like Singing in the Rain and West Side Story, recent big screen smashes such as A Star is Born and Bohemian Rhapsody, to Disney favourites The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Mary Poppins Returns, there really is something for everyone. Locals can vote for the films they’d like to see by heading to the Brindley website, before voting closes on Tuesday 7th May 2019.
Stacey Muir, Marketing and Events Executive at Brindley, comments: “Our Film Festival is completely free to attend and just keeps on getting bigger and better every year. We’re so excited for this year’s music theme; we’ve selected a fantastic shortlist of classics and modern big hits to choose from, and can’t wait to see which films top the list.
“Whether you fancy a singalong with friends and colleagues after work, or if you feel like bringing the whole family down to the estate over the weekend, there’s plenty to choose from this year. Why not take a trip down the yellow brick road with The Wizard of Oz, embrace your inner dancing queen with Mamma Mia, or air guitar along to the School of Rock!
“Will your favourite make the final line-up? It’s up to you to decide, so get voting and put this year’s dates in your diary.”
This year’s Film Festival is being held in partnership with charity Sense, who will be fundraising throughout the week long event, hosting various activities across the estate. Sense supports children and adults who are deafblind or have complex disabilities. Its Touchbase Centre in Birmingham brings health and social care services together with wider community, arts, sports and wellbeing activities – and helps deafblind people to access employment, volunteering and training opportunities.
