Screen Brum - Brum Radio

ScreenBrum scares itself senseless with the Cult Horror special, with our guests in the studio, Robert Sharl and Xavier Mendik of the Cine Excess festival, talking all things cult horror. We talk about defining what Cult is, about classics of the genre, and why it is important to explore the darker elements of the world. We are also joined by Paul Stringer of the Weekend of Wednesdays festival of cinematic activism. This show is a must for all Cult film fans, and anyone looking for a way into this genre. Be warned, things get scary...

Screen Brum can't take the heat. We celebrate the end of the heatwave here in Birmingham by looking at the theme of "heat" in the movies - hot weather, fire, climate change and the ickiness of sweat on screen, it's all here. With all your favourites. Join us.

Screen Brum celebrate the world cup by talking about World Champions on screens. The drama of the ultimate sporting endeavours as seen through the big screen. With special guest Jack McGill of QTV Sports, talking about the storytelling skills required by directors of sports events to bring it to life for the viewer. Champion.

It's hot so we are in our shorts. Seemed appropriate for us to delve into the world of the short film, with director and curator Joel Blackledge. We have recommendations of the best short films from around the world, the places to see them and also discuss the big name directors who have worked in the field.

Screen Brum is B - A - C - K! We've been away whilst the studio has been rebuilt, but now we return with a triumphant show, all about (naturally) Comebacks. Actors that have dropped off the radar, Directors that went away then stormed back, films about comebacks and more. We are joined in the studio by Dharmesh Rajput from the Birmingham International Film Festival, which has come back (ahem) for the 4th time, with some fascinating films. Plus the debut of our new producer, Lucy. Enjoy!
