The New City of Brighton and Hove is a very special place for learning film making as this craft was pioneered here over 100 years ago. Original 35mm cameras can be seen in the Hove Museum and these were used back in 1896 to make films locally at an early studio - The Film Factory - in St Ann's Well Gardens in Hove.

The former "Pandora's Gallery" is now the Melrose Restaurant opposite the West Pier and the owner, Tony, will proudly show you the plaque placed outside by The British Film Institute stating that film was first shown to the public here on 25th March 1896.
