Ian Francis from Balsall Heath
Ian runs Birmingham’s Flatpack Festival which is held in venues across the city every March. Ian also has a fascination with the overlaps between film and photography - particularly before and during the birth of cinema, through devices like the magic lantern, the zoetrope, the mutoscope and flip-book (which was patented in Birmingham).He has used the library for local studies work as he has put together walking tours about Birmingham's hidden history.
