Written by Frank Cottrell Boyce, this is the unbelievable true story of one man – the inimitable and very sadly missed Tony Wilson – one movement and the music and madness that was Madchester. Winner of British Independent Film Award for Best Achievement in Production.

The Liverpool born writer started as a critic for Living Marxism Magazine and then went on to write episodes for Coronation Street and Brookside.

In 1990 he first worked with Michael Winterbottom on the film Forget About Me and then continued to work with him on films such as Butterfly Kiss, Welcome to Sarajevo, The Claim, The Mayor of Casterbridge, 24 Hour Party People, Code 46, A Cock and Bull Story.

Frank has been dubbed as arguably the most original and versatile screenwriter in England by film critic Roger Ebert and has won several awards during his career including a British Independent Film Award for Best Screen Play – “Millions”

Maureen Sinclair, Clapperboard creator and director said: “Once again, it’s a true pleasure to have Frank’s support.

“I’ve had the privilege of promoting Frank’s work since his first feature Butterfly Kiss so it’s a honour to be screening his acclaimed feature ‘24 Hour Party People’ which will help to raise funds and the profile of Clapperboard Presents…”

Frank Cottrell Boyce added: “I love Clapperboard because it provides not just the opportunity but also the motivation to get out there and do something special”.

Frank will take part in a question and answer session at the end of the screening.

Income raised from Clapperboard Presents will go toward the Clapperboard Youth Project.
