The Fifer Festival 2010
Date: (22/02/2010)
As part of Celebrating Fife 2010 an eclectic and exciting programme of music and arts events, workshops, master classes, an audience with… and film showings, will be taking place from Tuesday 2nd - Saturday 6th March at The Alhambra Theatre in Dunfermline, celebrating and showcasing the illustrious career of Richard Jobson – presented by Richard and supported by special guests.
Born in West Fife in 1960, Richard (pictured below) has become one of Fife’s most illustrious and innovative cultural heroes. His band ‘The Skids’ was a revolutionary UK wide force in the art-punk movement in the 70’s and he has gone on to develop his creative career in many areas. He has continued over the years to build his career as a worldwide musical force to be reckoned with, while also encouraging and producing music with others, writing highly successful books, presenting some of TV’s top shows, script and screenwriting and producing and directing award winning, and influential, films.
The Fifer Festival is supported by Fife Council and a variety of events are planned, including workshops for media students and young film makers with Richard at The Alhambra Theatre Dunfermline (1pm-3pm on Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd March), and an evening with Richard and Ian Rankin at 7.30pm on Wednesday 3rd March. Four of Richard's highly acclaimed films will also be screened during the Festival, plus a premiere of his new short film 'The Journey', a project developed with Emma Thompson.
