It’s true at Flatpack you’ll find films from all across the globe, but that doesn’t mean we forget about all the incredible talent found a little closer to home.

This year’s Midlands shorts programme includes a dystopian thriller set on a Birmingham estate. A documentary about Houdini (but no, not that Houdini). And a comedy-drama about those intrusive thoughts you just can’t seem to shake. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Made in the Midlands celebrates the wealth of diverse and eclectic filmmaking talent right here on our doorstep.
