Reel Brum Two

Having grown in stature and reputation over the last couple of years, the Reel Brum network is thriving.

Each month the event brings together the city’s filmmaking talent for talks, presentations, and screenings.

We’re super excited to present the best of all the films shown at Reel Brum’s events over the past year at Flatpack 2025, one of which will go on to win the Reel Brum award (£200 cash prize). This is the first of two programmes of films and will include:
