GETTING INVOLVED
We have a really great bunch of volunteers; if you would like to join us, please do contact us. We are especially looking for those who might be good on the technical side of screening films, we also need social media enthusiasts who can help promote the festival, as well as anyone interested in film who can help setting up events (lots of lifting and carrying) and working at front of house (looking after and making events enjoyable for filmgoers).
Dir. John S. Baird (US 2018, 98mins 12)
Star performances from John C. Reilly and Steve Coogan as the ageing comedy duo who attempt to ignite their fading career with a tour of British variety clubs in 1953. a real delight with genuinely touching moments.
Doors open 7pm, bar and refreshments available
Dir. Peter Farrelly (US 2018, 130 mins 12)
A working-class Italian-American New York bouncer chauffeurs a highly educated Afro-American classical pianist around the racially segregated South. Likeable, funny with a warm heart and two very good lead actors.
Doors and bar open 7pm, film starts 7.30pm
Dir. Robert Guediguian France 2018, 107)
For lovers of classic French cinema, a family drama about a dying restaurant owner/father and their squabbles set near Marseilles that is beautifully composed and acted, with lovely sense of place which somehow manages to erase our all current concerns.
Doors and bar open 6.30pm Film starts 7pm
Dir. Cristina Gallego & Ciro Guerra (Colombia 2018 125 mins)
Colombia's entry to the Oscars is a powerful and mesmerising drug gangster epic based on true events that has terrific performances and glorious cinematography: a Latin American Godfather.
