More Canals Than Venice (2013)

Steve Rainbow's documentary reveals 100 relatively unknown facts about the UK's second city, Birmingham, featuring interviews with Professor Roger Shannon, Museum and Art Gallery chief Rita McLean, surrealist academic Dr Stephen Forcer and cultural studies Professor, Paul Long. The film is widely acknowledged as the most interesting documentation of Birmingham, as it reveals so many facts. It is also cited as the first film to categorically state that the film industry's genesis started in Birmingham with the invention of celluloid by Alexander Parkes in the mid 1850's.
