Filmmuseum München I St.-Jakobs Platz 1 I 80331 München, Bata-ville screened here on February 4th 2010 as part of the touring Utopia of Modernity show.

In May 2009 at the request of Zipp we were invited back to Zlin (Czech Republic) to take part in their conference Utopia of Modernity: Zlín. Nina travelled out with Mike and Joan who were both passengers on the Bata-ville bus and saw the film in the original Bata cinema (which is enormous and features in the film).

In February 2008 Bata-ville was shown everyday at Leeds City Art Gallery as part of our show for The Northern Art Prize - which we won! There was also an installation made in collaboration with BR&RC at the gallery, this room turned into a mini-cinema once a day and also during their evening openings.
