Lights, camera, Thanet: Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate as filming locations

    Research output: Contribution to conferenceLecture/Speech

    Abstract

    Take your seat at the Palace for an illustrated talk with lots of pics and clips, from 1940s spy drama to EMPIRE OF LIGHT and from serious tales of modern life to musicals and romcoms. Discover these and more, enjoying the three towns on screen as everything from 'generic seaside town' to the location for stories rooted in the local area, plus considering the impact of all this on the town's tourist trade.

    Every week National Lottery players raise over £30 million for good cause projects - the Palace has received Lottery funding in recent years for projects which have expanded what we can offer - not only films but local film heritage projects and links with local community and education groups. This event is funded by the National Lottery via BFI Film Hub South East.
