Event to move to Hull, the UK City Of Culture 2017, for fourth edition.
The 2017 edition of annual UK exhibitors’ industry conference This Way Up has revealed its key topics.
Set to take place November 7-8 at Hull’s Truck Theatre, this year’s event will focus on four subjects: the power of culture (which will look at the role of the film industry as the world sees seismic cultural and political shifts); technological change (how exhibitors can harness new technologies); ethics and resilience (how to preserve cultural values in the face of commercial pressure); places, spaces, and global community (as content becomes more available on small devices, how to cinemas remain important spaces to consume culture?).
The event has also announced two keynote speakers.
Jenny Sealey, winner of the Liberty Human Rights Award, co-director of the London 2012 Paralympic Opening Ceremony, CEO-artistic director of Graeae Theatre since 1997, and a pioneer in disabled-led theatre.

At Streetwise Opera we make shows with people who have experienced homelessness. Could combining live performance and film bring us a bigger audience?
Over the last few years, cinemas have been filled with something a little more lyrical than Tom Cruise jumping out of a helicopter in his latest blockbuster. These days you're as likely to encounter The Magic Flute as Mission Impossible at your local Odeon, since live opera relays from the likes of New York's Metropolitan Opera and Glyndebourne, with multiple camera set-ups capturing the action at close quarters, make you feel as if you're in the actual theatre – in the best seats in the house.
But purists maintain that nothing can really compare with the raw passion and immediacy of experiencing opera live, and we at Streetwise Opera began to wonder if there was a way of combining the best of live opera and film in a single production.

Flamboyant film director, best known for Death Wish, and later an outspoken restaurant critic and bon vivant
Michael Winner, who has died aged 77, supplied interviewers with a list of more than 30 films he had directed, not always including the early travelogue This Is Belgium (1956), mostly shot in East Grinstead. But his enduring work was himself – a bravura creation of movies, television, journalism, the law courts and a catchphrase, ''Calm down, dear", from an exasperating series of television commercials.
He was born in London, the only child of George and Helen Winner, who were of Russian and Polish extraction respectively. His builder father made enough money propping up blitzed houses to invest in London property. The profits funded his wife's gambling, which, her son complained, so distracted "Mumsie" that he was never paid due attention. She left him in the bedroom with the mink coats of guests who came to his...

When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes. -- Erasmus
One afternoon in Cape Town I sat in my little room at University House and took inventory. This must have been in June, winter in the southern hemisphere, and it had been raining steadily for most of a week. I was virtually alone in the student residence; the others had packed off for vacation. With an umbrella and plastic slicker I'd ventured out once or twice to the Pig and Whistle, where I favored the Ploughman's Lunch, but to sustain life I'd laid in a supply of tinned sardines, cheddar and swiss cheese, Hob Nobs, apples, Carr's Water Biscuits, ginger cookies, Hershey bars, biltong, sausage and a pot of jam. I had a little electric coil that would bring a cup of water to a boil, a jar of Nescafe,...
