Flatpack
Film. And then some.
Film Bug
Following the success of last year’s first Film Bug outing, we’ve teamed up with Colmore Business District once again but this time we’re sticking around in the city centre for even longer. This year Film Bug offers you even more opportunity to experience a host of shorts and feature film screenings, talks, walking tours, live scores, and various other bits and bobs in some of the district’s most interesting spaces and venues. And most of it’s free.
