The Film Theatre is currently closed, they’re trying to raise funds to set up in another location. I wonder if the auditorium at the Potteries Museum, or the Mitchell Theatre might be alternatives? The bottle overs are actually quite a draw for tourists thanks to the Pottery Throwdown, it’s what’s around them that needs making better use of. Things are moving, slowly.
I HAVE NOT ACTUALLY TRIED AS THE FILM THEATRE HAS NEVER RUN A FESTIVAL. what I asked was whether you personally would back the proposal if I floated it. They would need to know there was some backing from folk in the city as I live in stafford. No commitment of course, its just an idea at this stage
sadly stoke is not going to revive if it lives in the past. Bottle kilns are ancient and no other city has shirts with old stuff stitched in. Yes the city needs to remember its history and I have suggested a film festival with the Card - Alex Guiness started here and went on to star wars - and the Colour Room, about a real heroine of the potteries, but no interest. Celebrate history, don't live in the past. But apparently its not worth pushing the boat out. Trevor Fisher
Your first sentence is correct and I agree. Most other football clubs have their heritage celebrated though so I’m not sure that’s right. It’s great that you have suggested a film festival however just because you haven’t been able to create interest doesn’t allow for generalisations. Thanks, James.
