Join us for an exciting evening with author and cinema historian Dr. Thomas A. Christie from Extremis Publishing as we delve into the legacy of Braveheart – the Oscar-winning epic that brought William Wallace’s story to life!
In celebration of the film’s 30th anniversary, and the star-studded premier that was held at the Macrobert Arts Centre in Stirling, enjoy behind-the-scenes talk sharing insights and fascinating anecdotes that shaped this iconic 1995 blockbuster.
Discover how Braveheart not only shaped modern perceptions of Scottish history but also played a significant role in reinvigorating the identity and international profile of Stirling, the historic city at the heart of Wallace’s rebellion. From cinematic myth-making to real-world tourism, and from local impact to national pride, Dr Christie traces the threads that link Hollywood spectacle with Scotland’s story. A Q&A session will follow the talk.
Tea/Coffee included in your ticket!
Plus, enjoy a FREE ENTRY to the National Wallace Monument from September 8th to 14th with your ticket. (Just show your Eventbrite confirmation at the front desk).
