Tuesday 4th November, 7pm The Library Theatre, Birmingham This is a special pre-launch Flip event in conjunction with Birmingham International Film Society. The District is an outrageous and visually stunning animated satire from multiaward winning Hungarian director Áron Gauder. A group of teens from the wrong side of Budapest's tracks band together to make themselves rich by travelling back in time, burying a horde of woolly mammoths under the city's streets, then returning to the present and drilling for oil. The District plays like an unhinged ghetto updating of Romeo & Juliet through a politically charged kaleidoscope of clashing world views and social unrest, complete with musical numbers and a wicked soundtrack of Hungarian hip-hop. The White Wolf is an animated short from French director, Pierre-Luc Granjon. A child manages to tame a huge white wolf. He and his little brother are delighted. But to feed their family, their father brings home one day an animal bigger than usual…the white wolf. Tickets: £3.50/£2.50, available from Birmingham Central Library, 0121 3032323, or online www.birminghamboxoffice.co.uk. For more info email bhamifs@hotmail.co.uk
