With the reinstatement of the Wondrous Place Gallery aiming at updating, improving and refreshing the content, accessibility and design of the gallery, the "Kicking and Screaming Experience" needs to be updated to reflect recent events and to adjust its narrative style to truly reflect an inclusive and diverse picture of football in Liverpool.

The original film was created in 2011, with the majority of its content still relevant to this project. We invite bidders to work from the existing film and to present an upgrade in style and design, as well as an expansion of the narrative that incorporates new footage of recent events in football in Liverpool.

MAIN OBJECTIVES

Using the existing film as a base, we invite bidder to propose a refreshened and reinvigorated experience of our Football Immersive film, including:

 showcasing a film that better reflects the diversity of football fans.  including additional footage and improved content, interpretation and design that attracts a wider and more diverse audience.  showcasing and amplifying the inclusion of groups historically excluded from the social picture of football in Liverpool.  reusing current film footage as and if appropriate.  updating content for existing narratives within the film and plan appropriately to adapt the film to new AV equipment purchased as part of the reinstatement project.  including new content to represent Liverpool's contemporary history of football.  updating license agreements due for renewal.
