The BBC Big Screen project is a project involving the British Broadcasting Corporation , Philips and Local Councils to install large, 25m Television screens with sound systems in prominent locations in city centres. There are currently five UK cities which have one. LOCATIONS Birmingham The ''Big Screen'' in Birmingham is located in Chamberlain Square on the side of Birmingham Town Hall . Hull The ''Big Screen'' in Hull is located in Queen Victoria Square . Leeds The ''Big Screen'' in Leeds is located in Millennium Square . Liverpool The ''Big Screen'' in Liverpool is located in Clayton Square , close to Liverpool Lime Street Railway Station . Manchester The ''Big Screen'' in Manchester is located in Exchange Square . CULTURAL ADVANTAGES The Cornerhouse in Manchester , supported by the City Council and The Arts Council of England , has pioneered daily screenings of the work of local film makers, under the title "The Bigger Picture". From the first school video projects by local children to the work of international video artists, the Manchester screen carries an hour of rich and diverse locally made films each day. Similar initiatives have been developed for PSB screens in Birmingham , Liverpool and Hull , which were launched last year. UPCOMING VIDEOS Birmingham A set of videos showing pre and post-war Birmingham will be shown outlining the development of the city courtesy of Birmingham Central Library archives.
