A Touch of Hollywood

A Touch of Hollywood
Bedlam Vintage Market
Great James St.
Friday 23rd - Sunday 25th September

Adding to the rich programme of Cultural
 events in Derry, Friday
(23rd September) will be an opportunity to preview
'A Touch of Hollywood',
a unique collaborative photographic exhibition which
 tributes films and filmic styles throughout the ages.
The photographers Brónagh Corr-McNicholl and Aria Fikriyah
worked closely with Indrazno S. (Director of Lighting), Justyn
McNicholl, (Editing and Print Management) and Elayne McNicholl
(Clothes and Model Co-ordination) to recreate and deliver a truly wonderful
and fun visual display, which offers more than a glance and a nod to the
iconic days of Hollywood. The Quiet Man, Pulp Fiction, Breakfast
 at Tiffanys and The Wizard of Oz are just a few of the titles that
have been given a photographic remake. The fact that it is local
people (and half of Bedlam!) that features in the iconic movie
roles in the photographs is proof that you don't need the
'X Factor' to reach for the stars!

From the thriller drama of Hitchcocks 'Blackmail' (1929) to the
glamorous sassy wiggle of Monroe in 'Some Like it Hot' (1959)
It doesn't get much hotter than this.
The images will be on public display at Bedlam this weekend
before rolling out on a touring exhibition later on in the year.
So if you're about the City for Culture night this weekend do '
Come up and see us sometime'.
