The BBC Big Screen in Hull

Ballet on the Big Screen. Live from Covent Garden.

Over 10 metres high and boasting a 25 square metre sized digital screen, the Big Screen in Hull offers 24-hour news, information and entertainment.

Focusing on major events, local productions, news, sport, the arts, music and more.

The screen showcases the very best in local, creative talent.

From film-makers, artists and DJs through to school children, community groups and unsigned bands, they all have a home on the Screen.

The Screen has so many roles that it's impossible to list them all. The Big Screen is a meeting place; an information point; an outdoor arena; a stand-up cinema; a digital canvas and gaming vortex; a springboard for aspiring talent; and a place to go when the nation joins together for a big event.

The Hull Big Screen also offers a regular programme of major sporting fixtures including Wimbledon, F1 and World Snooker Championships.

This week on the Big Screen

Tomorrow afternoon, the Big Screen will be showing the latest game in the Rugby League Four Nations with France v Australia.

Hull will join with the nation to mark the two minutes' silence on both Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day; the Big Screen will be showing special programmes through the morning to mark the occasion on both days.

And Monday is the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. A play performed by Hull drama students will be shown on the Big Screen to mark the anniversary.

Written by drama lecturer Sarah Jane Dickenson, the play entitled Not Yet, was commissioned to help mark 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Sarah Jane and the students are currently in Germany with the play, which forms part of an international theatre festival to commemorate the anniversary.

Sarah Jane said: "We are delighted that the play has been chosen to form part of such an important cultural event. The students and I will be proud to take the University of Hull's name to Germany, and be the sole representatives from Britain- we are also the only amateur theatre company taking part."

Not Yet is being screened at 10am, 1pm, and 4pm this Monday.

Your work on screen

The screen also acts as a free public platform for local and national artistic talent with regular programmes of film and visual artwork on screen.

We are looking for video content created here in Hull - from media students, amateur film makers, animators, community groups and photographers.

Submitting your work

We can accept material on mini-DV and DV-cam tape, DVDs and still images in jpeg format - but we cannot directly use content built as a Powerpoint presentation.

All submissions will be considered on editorial merit, but the screen cannot show commercial advertisements, hard-hitting campaigning content or films that include music and footage which hasn't had the necessary copyright clearance.
