Sep 17 2009 Flintshire Chronicle

ONE of the greatest film classics of all time, On The Waterfront starring Marlon Brando, is coming to Liverpool in a great free open air spectacular.

It takes place where else but at the famous Liverpool waterfront on Saturday, September 26.

The new Museum of Liverpool will be transformed into a gigantic 24-metre wide cinema screen for On The Waterfront.

Brando’s eight Oscar award-winning epic is just one of a number of classic films and audio visual performances to be screened at the Pier Head from Friday, September 25 until Sunday, September 27.

More than 2,500 people are expected at the Pier Head to watch the film, which was last year shown outdoors in San Francisco.

Friday from 7.30pm will see The Long Day Closes by Terence Davies.

The Saturday entertainment starts at 7.30pm with an evening dedicated to classic shorts and feature films. On The Waterfront starts at 8pm.

From noon until 5pm during the three days The Big M, a unique and mobile art space, will provide an alternative to the conventional gallery setting.
