Restored Archive Film Highlights Yorkshire’s Unique Culture

Residents of Yorkshire will have the unique opportunity to view archive film treasures on the big screen, as Cine Yorkshire and Yorkshire Film Archive present the North Yorkshire’s first ever archive film festival.
Contrast/brilliance will run from 23rd September – 5th October.
Specially curated films preserved by Yorkshire Film Archive with support from Screen Heritage UK project will be shown alongside screenings of well-known feature films made in the county. The events will take place at venues across North Yorkshire, including village halls, community venues as well as full time cinemas, stately homes, a pub, and even a railway station.
Contrast/brilliance coincides with a major new BBC 2 television series, Reel History of Britain, hosted by Melvyn Bragg. The 20-part BBC and BFI co-production brings the history of Britain to life on the UK’s television screens, including previously unseen film preserved by Yorkshire Film Archive as part of the Screen Heritage UK project.
The first episode will be screened on BBC2 on September 5th 2011, 6.30pm.
