The British & Irish Modern Music Institute is preparing to open its third Manchester site, an 11,000 sq ft film school in Spinningfields.
Under the proposals, BIMM would occupy units A6 and A8 at Leftbank Tower on the corner of Water Street and New Quay Street next to the River Irwell.
BIMM’s two other Manchester facilities at Great Marlborough Street and Bank Chambers offer courses in songwriting, music performance/production, business and event management.
However, at Leftbank BIMM wants to create a film school offering degree-level courses in filmmaking, and film, business and entrepreneurship.
BIMM has requested permission from Manchester City Council to convert the units.
