Popular Coventry venue the Tin Music and Arts has added monthly movie screenings to its traditional mix of live entertainment and community events.

The cosy venue and artistic hub in the city’s canal basin will be showing films and documentaries for adults and children as part of From The Vaults, a six-month programme made possible by support from Film Hub Midlands and funds from the National Lottery.

Designed to be a driving force behind film culture in the region, Film Hub Midlands provides funding and training to help more people across the region watch, make and show films, which it calls ‘the most democratic of art forms’.

The next three movies to be screened at the Tin include documentaries featuring iconic music acts and a bona fide Christmas classic.

Ellis Park (Sunday 16 November, 5.30pm) focuses on feted Australian musician Warren Ellis, best known for his long-time association with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, who takes viewers on a guided tour through his world and a special animal sanctuary.

Becoming Led Zeppelin (Thursday 11 December, 7.30pm) is renowned Irish-British filmmaker Bernard MacMahon’s colourful exploration of Led Zeppelin’s creative, musical and personal origin story, and is the first officially sanctioned film about the legendary heavy rock group.

Finally, The Muppets Christmas Carol (Tuesday 23 December, 2.30pm), is the muppets’ hugely popular take on Charles Dickens’ yuletide tale, with Scrooge played by Michael Caine alongside all the familiar characters, including Gonzo as the esteemed author. To add to the fun, and there’s a Festive Disco to enjoy afterwards.

Tickets for each film cost £6 (£5 for children) including booking fee. For more information and tickets visit thetinmusicandarts.org.uk
