Our meeting this month saw a film crew arrive to film our contribution to the Birmingham Literary Festival in October. Instead of a performance lasting a couple of hours we will, this year, be captured in film.

Geoff, Jacob and featured member Michael George

Geoff and Jacob (film and sound experts) recorded us as we shared our work in the Stageside Restaurant, before taking us outside for still shots.

Four members were chosen for their poems about Birmingham and will feature more prominently in the film.

Other featured members Fiona, David and Ita await their turn in front of the camera

The film will be shown on a loop at the Library of Birmingham throughout the festival, and will be available on our website after the festival for those of you unable to make it to the library.
