The venue for the Norwich screening

-
The Curve, The Forum, 2 Millennium Plain, Bethel Street. Norwich. NR2 1TF
 The Forum, Norwich, is one landmark destination with a unique mix of community resources, visitor experiences and conference, meeting and event facilities.
Designed by Sir Michael
Hopkins, The Forum is a £65million project, built to mark the millennium in the
East of England.
The landmark Millennium building for the
East of England and a stunning example of 21st century design.
The Forum sits
on a pre-conquest settlement, inhabited by French settlers after the Norman
invasion. During the Reformation the site was home to immigrants from the Low
Countries - known as 'Strangers' they contributed significantly to Norwich's
textile trade.
More recently Norwich Central
Library was located here. Destroyed by fire in 1994, it provided the opportunity
for massive archaeological excavations of the site.
The main section forms an
enclosing horseshoe, made from handmade load bearing bricks with several
windows. The glass façade forms a stunning entrance and embraces the marvellous
Gothic church tower of St Peter Mancroft.
A range of businesses and
amenities are located in The Forum. BBC East's regional headquarters can be
found here, together with the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library, the 2nd Air
Division Memorial Library, and Norwich Tourist Information Centre (TIC).
In 2009 it opened a series of
innovative community facilities including Fusion, Europe's largest permanent
digital gallery with free public access and a state-of-the-art auditorium.
Different every day, The Forum
also hosts a year-round line-up of free and ticketed events, exhibitions and
entertainment.
Attracting over 2.5 million people each year, The Forum is home to an innovative programme of events and activities, many of which are free to enjoy.
