Show-Stopping Production Gets Reel

This year a leading international film festival - presented by Leeds City Council - has been working with official partner Leeds Brewery to brew a special ale, just for the festival.
Reel Ale is set to impress and has been brewed using the finest British malts and choicest English hops specifically for the film festival and will be available in The Brewery Tap, Nation of Shopkeepers and The Midnight Bell as well as other bars across the city, during this years film festival.
The Leeds Film Festival is celebrating 23 years with a great treat for animation fans including three films from Japan.
Titles include the UK Premiere of stunning animated adventure Summer Wars, Miyazaki’s sublime new film Ponyo, and rare screenings of Oshii classic Angel’s Egg, all showing at the Hyde Park Picture House.
The screenings will tie in with the Thought Bubble Sequential Arts Festival which celebrates comic books and graphic novels.
It will finish with a special one day convention which will give audiences the opportunity to meet numerous prestigious comic book creators.
They will also get the chance to take part in live art installations, portfolio critiques, panel discussions and masterclasses.
Leeds City Council Executive Member for Leisure Councillor John Procter said: "The film festival is proving to be very popular again this year. Leeds Brewery is a big part of Leeds so it is great that they are one of our partners this year."
Co-Director of Leeds Brewery Sam Moss added: "Leeds Brewery are delighted to be involved with this year's film festival.
"Brewing a unique, local beer for the tens of thousands of people that will be enjoying the festival over the coming weeks is a great opportunity for us. We're proud to be associated with such a vibrant Leeds event
