5 Minutes with Tim Brown<\/h1>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

\"\"Q -Introduce yourself\u2026<\/p>\n

A -My name is Tim Brown and I am Co-Director of CINECITY. We programme the annual CINECITY Brighton Film Festival and also screenings, events and exhibitions across the year. For instance I also programme the film strand of May’s Brighton Festival.<\/p>\n

Q -Who or what has inspired you to be involved in making film\/moving image?<\/p>\n

A -Probably the main thing that inspired me to do what i’m doing now was going to cinemas in London in the early\/mid 80s such as the Electric, Scala, Lumiere and Minema. It was a real education in cinema from around the world.<\/p>\n

Q -How has Brighton and Hove influenced your work?<\/p>\n

A -I started work at the Duke of York’s – which shared a certain ethos with the cinemas above – as an Education Officer and Assistant Manager. It is a special place that has a really strong hold on the affections of many people.<\/p>\n

Q -What advice would you give to creative people seeking work or wanting to develop their careers in the industry?<\/p>\n

A -Just keep doing what you want to do and be prepared to work very hard. Don’t lose heart if at first you don’t succeed – play the long game. Also while there are some idiots working in film, there do seem to be less than in other areas of the creative arts.<\/p>\n

Q -What\u2019s the most interesting part of your job?<\/p>\n

A -Watching films, working with artists and film-makers on different projects, curating the programmes of films, special events and exhibitions.<\/p>\n

Q -What\u2019s the most challenging aspect of your job?<\/p>\n

A -It’s often the raising of the money to do the above.<\/p>\n

Q -Dead or alive, who are the top three people you\u2019d most like to collaborate with, and why?<\/p>\n

A -I did interview JG Ballard once but I would have liked to work with him on an exhibition or something similar.<\/p>\n

Q -If you could only take one film away with you on a desert island, what would it be and why?<\/p>\n

A -Given that it’s a film I would need to watch again and again and also as I might need some cheering up, then definitely Spinal Tap.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
