Universities in UK and Oz join forces
Open-air cinema to return to the NEC
The Luna Cinema, the UK’s leading outdoor cinema company, has announced its return to the NEC with a new drive-in season opening on Monday, 12 April. It offers state-of-the-art sound
and visuals, using the UK’s highest definition outdoor screens, in-car digital sound and click-and-collect food and drink. This follows a hugely successful series of events throughout December when The Luna Winter Drive In Cinema took up residency at the NEC and attracted over 8,000 cars over a three-week period. The Luna Cinema will celebrate the 25-year anniversary of cult
classic ‘Romeo + Juliet’, alongside screenings of classics ‘Grease’, ‘Back to the Future’, ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Dirty Dancing’. For those who want to watch
newer releases, the series of events includes ‘The Greatest Showman’, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and ‘Rocketman’. The NEC will host a single screening, every evening, across 19 dates, concluding with a showing of ‘Pretty Woman’ on Saturday 3 May.
George Wood, founder of The
Luna Cinema, said: “We’ve managed to make every aspect of the event fully compliant with social distancing regulations, from the way tickets are scanned
through to the provision of food and drink. Audiences can feel confident that we have created an experience that is safe, allowing them to return to spectacular events.” Richard Mann, the NEC’s new
business director, added: “The event operation is impressive and the feedback from visitors and all involved previously was fantastic. This next season promises to continue in that success and offer the public an opportunity to once again enjoy live events.”

A UK and an Australian university have joined forces to form a new strategic partnership aimed at promoting cooperation between the two countries and tackling major global challenges. Birmingham City University
(BCU) and RMIT University (Australia) signed a Memorandum of Understanding, which will aim to drive innovation and economic development by connecting the arts with traditional scientific disciplines. In the partnership, the institutions
will work together to boost international research co-operation, technology and innovation transfer, student and staff exchange, commercialisation and training, across a range of sectors. As part of the new agreement,
the partnership will establish a ‘Commonwealth STEAM Challenge’, to coincide with the 2022 Commonwealth Games taking place in Birmingham. Professor Julian Beer, deputy
vice-chancellor at the BCU, said: “ The coming together of BCU with RMIT signals a fresh and ambitious approach to teaching, learning and applied research that’s fit for the future.”
