However, the place was practically empty and I still think when it comes to subtitled films we have been conditioned to switch off. I'm not sure why this is. Partly lack of space given to those "fringe" films and partly because the order of the day for most film studios is how much money can a film make in its first week. I do think that Birmingham does need to scream a little louder than anybody else because it is true this city does get a pretty poor ratio when films are distributed. Ultimately, when it comes to certain venues there is going to have to be an element of subsidy because there is now way places like BIFS or even The Electric can compete with the bigger chain cinemas who are linked with film companies who want to sell Star Trek 80 - The Search for More Money on as many screens as possible. Sorry that I missed the discussion but I was at work. But that is a different discussion to be had regarding when so called "creative" events are held.

One thing for Monday's audience to consider is whether this is a debate about Arthouse cinema at all. If Odeons and Cineworlds in other cities took the decision to show Synecdoche on the week of release then why didn't Birmingham's? If fact why didn't our multiplexes show it at all?
