A film event will take over Liverpool's famous Lewis's Building for a weekend of independent films and local food.
Cinema in The City, presented by FACT, brings the best independent cinema to hidden locations across Liverpool and showcases emerging talent from local filmmakers, alongside food and drink from local traders.
A popular ticketed event, Cinema in The City returns this autumn - this time set at the historic Lewis's Building.

The weekend event offers a selection of films about community activism alongside shorts from local filmmakers.
Cinema-goers will enjoy the opportunity to experience three contemporary screenings in the centre of Liverpool, inside one of the city's most iconic Grade II listed buildings.
Film fans will also enjoy a menu of local food courtesy of Squash, a community organisation home-grown in Toxteth.
Embracing an arts, food and environmental focus, they are a diverse group of local people committed to affecting creative, positive social change in our neighbourhood. They work alongside local residents, embracing food and art as essential tools to improve health and well-being.
Supporting film and local talent is at the heart of FACT, and Cinema in The City provides local filmmakers of the future with the opportunity to screen their own short films to an audience of keen cinema-goers prior to each and every screening.
This weekend sees a selection of shorts from the next generation of filmmakers with Black Boys Can Swim, directed by Khaleb Brooks; Same BUT Different, directed by Anniwaa Buachi; and Hey Joe, directed by Eleanor Lybeck all appearing on the big screen before the feature films.
Cinema in the City at Lewis’s Building runs from Friday 12 to Sunday 14 November.
Further dates and announcements on new locations, films and local food and drink traders will follow later in the year.
