Film and TV locations across Stirling in the spotlight thanks to local author
Film and TV locations across Stirling are in the spotlight at an event this week thanks to local expert and author Dr Tom Christie. Dr Christie is a cultural historian specialising in film history, popular culture, and digital humanities. His latest talk, 'Lights, Camera, Stirling', is a presentation about filming locations throughout Stirling and Stirlingshire. At the event in Legends Coffee House at the Wallace Monument, on Thursday, April 24, the local author is going to be talking about some of the more unexpected movies and TV shows to have been filmed in the area - including a few weird and wonderful stories along the way. A spokesperson said: 'The city of Stirling, and the wider county of Stirlingshire, have long been favoured destinations when it comes to location filming for cinema and television. 'This presentation will take a look at some of the productions which have been filmed in the area over the decades, from big-budget Hollywood movies to independent features - a few of which might just surprise you. 'Ranging from sci-fi and fantasy through to thrillers and historical dramas, Stirling continues to be an increasingly popular location for film-makers worldwide. This presentation will explain just why the region has become so beloved of directors and audiences alike.' The event takes place tomorrow (Thursday) at 7pm at Legends Coffee House. Entry is by donation, and will help to support the work of Stirling District Tourism in the area. Doors open at 6.30pm with tea/coffee and biscuits included in the admission.
