As part of our ongoing Season of Film,
BFoE is pleased to present an exclusive screening of
Paradise Lost, History in the Unmaking: Andy Howlett’s acclaimed essay-film about Birmingham Central Library and the death of Modernism 🎬. ‘This isn’t just the story of a building.

This is the story of a battle for a city’s soul.

It’s a story of loss and forgetting.

A story of gods and angels.

It’s a journey into a fairground mirror world of counter-histories and abandoned futures.’ ~ Tickets available at https://actionnetwork.org/events/paradise-lost-history-in-the-unmaking-film-screening?source=direct_link& 🎟️ 💚
