What TV’s on at the BFI in October/November 2016? Including NW and A Black History of Britain
Stonkingly late as usual, it’s TMINE’s usual coverage of all the BFI events coming your way in the unusual BFI-created month of October/November (not to be confused with September/October). This month, most of the TV output comes as part of the BFI’s BlackStar season, looking at the contributions by black talent to movies and television around the world as well as in the UK. It includes a preview of the forthcoming NW, Black is the New Black and A Black History of Britain, a tribute afternoon to Cy Grant, a 10th anniversary screening of Shoot The Messenger, as well as numerous plays.
But also lined up is a preview of Television’s Opening Night: How the Box was Born, a recreation of the first ever night of BBC TV, as well as another recreation – an animated version of missing Doctor Who story The Power of the Daleks.
