Acclaimed filmmaker Nick Broomfield speaks at Creative Networks

Acclaimed English documentary filmmaker, Nick Broomfield, will provide the keynote presentation at this month's Creative Networks. Nick will explore his wide-ranging experiences, share key learning principles and deliver some valuable tips on succeeding in the film industry.

Thursday 28th February 2008

Birmingham City University Technology Innovation Centre (tic), Millennium Point, Birmingham.

Guest Speaker:Nick Broomfield - Documenting in Style

After studying law and political science, he went on to study film at the National Film and Television School. Filming with a small crew, often just himself and one or two camera operators, Nick's documentaries have a distinctive style and appeal.

Famous subjects include Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, rappers Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur, Margaret Thatcher and Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss. Nick recently completed a drama called ‘Ghosts' for Channel Four, inspired by the 2004 Morecambe Bay cockling disaster.

In a special pre-event screening from 5.00pm - 6.00pm, we will also be showing some of the best work from recent graduates of the Light House City & Guilds Film Production course.
