First held in 1998, the annual British Silent Cinema Weekend returns to Nottingham's Broadway Media Centre. Highlighting the extraordinary silent films produced in Britain before 1930, each year there are screenings with live music, presentations, talks, debates, seminars and socials.
With new finds being unearthed every year - just look at the success of the British Film Institute's rescuing of the films of Mitchell and Kenyon - the festival taps into a new-found interest in early films.
The search is on for potential presentations and any pre-1930s film stock on the subject of travelogues and tourism throughout Britain and Europe, British European co-productions and examples of the influence of European avant-garde movements in British film.
In 2008 the festival theme is "Rats, Ruffians and Radicals". The festival website publishes full details of this year's programme as soon as they are available.
