Hugh (on his own this time) headed up the road to Derry/Londonderry to speak with Eavan King, Film Programmes Manager at Nerve Centre and Christopher Morrison, Programmer of Foyle Film Festival. We talked about the cinema heritage of the Nerve Centre, the creation of Foyle Film Festival in 1987 and the place of film in the creative landscape of the North West.
Today, 10th April 2024, marks the start of Foyle's spring festival Reel Lives Festival and Christopher and Eavan gave us a great run down of what people can expect from the exciting, innovative programme on offer.
