OT: Bradford, UNESCO World City of Film... : Thu Jun 11, 2009 11:44 pm  

The world's first City of Film will be announced by Unesco today, with the honour going unexpectedly to Bradford. Although Los Angeles, Cannes and Venice might have been considered shoo-ins for the title, the Yorkshire city has got there first with a bid based on classics such as Room at the Top and the latest work of British Bollywood.

TBH it is the one thing that still brings me back to the centre of Bradford. The National Media Museum is a jewel. Fantastic accolade.
