The Gothic Imagination - British Horor Film Classics
The British Film Institute (BFI) is joining forces with the British Museum to present a weekend of outdoor screenings of classic British horror films at the British Museum.
This Monster Weekend event taking place 29 - 31 August is a curtain-raiser for a season of events nationwide exploring the dark heart of British movies inspired by the Gothic romances of Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker and those who follow in their spellbinding footsteps whose work has been brought to life on film. The Monster Weekend includes screenings of Night of the Demon, Dracula and The Mummy - all British horror classics and will be the first in a series of landmark events designed to trail a major season lasting four months to be held at the BFI's headquarters on London's Southbank and across the UK between October 2013 and January 2014.
I don't like horror myself much but lots of people do and tickets are only £15 so you may need to book early. Details at bfi website www.bfi.org

The Future for Libraries
Arts Council England has just published the results of a major research project undertaken over the past year in a document entitled 'Envisioning the library of the future'. I know. Why can't they come up with titles for official documents which don't sound as if they have been dreamed up by someone who is not a native English speaker? And the Arts Council, for goodness sake.
Anyway this one might be useful to some of my readers as its aim is to help library staff, funders and Joe Public to understand what libraries could and should look like in the future.
The Arts Council claims it will help them as well as their partners in the library sector to discuss with more clarity the value, role and purpose of public libraries suggesting ways they can respond to the enormous changes in technology which affect the future use and storage of books and archive material while allowing them to remain as they always have been at the heart of their communities.
