Travelling Picture Show - grand finale

The childrens tour ends with a world premiere and two comedy classics with live piano.

The end is in sight. After a summer spent trundling the region, the family film caravan which we call the Travelling Picture Show is making its way back into Birmingham in a shower of confetti and knitted mice. To mark this occasion the Electric cinema is hosting a special gala screening for all ages, and as well as a small selection of some of the most popular cartoons shown during the tour we have two extra treats:

The Magic Box

World premiere of an animated 'chain-film' made by young participants at all sorts of places throughout the TPS tour, facilitated by Claire Evans;

Comedy classics with live accompaniment

Brecon-based pianist Paul Shallcross will be playing along live to two of the funniest films you're likely to see - One Week (1920) starring Buster Keaton, and Big Business (1929) starring Laurel and Hardy as two very persistent christmas tree salesmen.

You can book tickets via the Electric website. A big thank you to all the venues who took part in the tour, all those who came along to the screenings and workshops, and especially to intern Hana Lewis for all her work on the project.
