Flatpack 7 collective memory
Having been far too distracted to take it all in at the time, we are piecing together the festival experience from other people's photos and blog posts. Here are a few things we've come across so far - if you've got anything to add please just post in the comments below. And don't forget we are seeking your feedback via the Flatpack 7 survey.
One of the best all-round snapshots of Flatpack can be found in this audio report produced by Cinema Nation for Resonance FM. Includes interviews with various people including Ian from the festival and Alice Lowe at the Grey Gardens screening, as well as nice snippets on the Chinese event at Cherish House and the Passion of Joan of Arc;
