Lots more about the festival can be found on our social media - check them out
Our festival is supported by the British Film Institute whose aim is to give everyone everywhere in the UK the opportunity to enjoy film - let them have your feedback on our films and events by completing the online survey
We have a really great bunch of volunteers; if you love film and want to join us, please get in touch. We are especially looking for anyone 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).
