UK screening of ‘Sparkle’- PRESS RELEASE

Organisers of the British Urban Film Festival, have teamed up with the specialist
film exhibitor Urban Screen to host the 1st UK screening of ‘Sparkle’ in
Central London on Thursday October 4. The announcement is the latest in a series
of coups for BUFF 2012 which has also secured the TV premiere of Aml Ameen’s
latest film short (“12” on October 8) on Community Channel as well as the UK
premiere of “Melvin: Chronicles of a Player” at TUC Congress House (on October

screening event will command box office admission and is being supported also by
BUFF 2012 sponsors, Vanessa Blake Cosmetics. Sparkle also marks Whitney Houston's

Inspired by The Supremes, Sparkle is a remake of the 1976 film of the same name,
which centered on three singing teenage sisters from Harlem who form a girl group
in the late 1950s. The remake takes place in Detroit, Michigan in the 1960s during
the Motown era. The film stars Jordin Sparks (making her debut as an actress
having come to prominence as a former winner of American Idol), Derek Luke,
Whitney Houston, Mike Epps, Cee Lo Green and Carmen Ejogo.
