Cinema in Manchester and the North
Tom Grieve, Cinema EditorTwo of the year’s first film festival’s have announced their line ups and we couldn’t be more excited. First up Manchester Film Festival marks it’s tenth anniversary with a selection of top films from around the world. Opening with Guy Pearce in The Convert and closing with Kristen Stewart in Love Lies Bleeding, there’s plenty to enjoy in between.
You might also want to grab your passes for GASP! Horror Film Festival which returns to CULTPLEX later this year with a diverse, inclusive selection of genre movies from underrepresented voices.
While on a smaller scale long-time Creative Tourist favourites Make A Scene are back with their first interactive film screening of the year — get ready for dancing, drag queens and three of the world’s finest divas as they present camp cult classic The First Wives Club.
At HOME, there’s still time to catch The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme. Or at The Stoller Hall, contemporary orchestra Mystery Ensemble return with their live take on Howard Shore’s award-winning scores for The Lord of the Rings.
