Few hours left until the festival is starting, if you are attending please see some information bellow.
Each film selected have two free passes to all the screenings and events. If you can’t attend, the free passes can be given to someone else, friends, crew, family etc.
Access at the events only with the Covid-19 Vaccine Certificate.
Tickets only online, unfortunately can’t be to many of us in the cinema because of restrictions we are limited to 60% of the capacity and because of this we are short on volunteers. Some programmes are almost sold out and we are sorry if people are left behind.
Once in the Cinema please come and say hello, tell us if you are the Director or the Producer of any film selected, otherwise we won’t be able to recognise you with a mask on.
Will have a short Q & A after each screening, with the Director & Producer from each film.
All the pubs and restaurants are closing down at 11pm so the networking party will be at The Sugar Club on Sunday along with the awards ceremony and live music with Jeremy Angel.
