Coming Soon

Due to the clearing of the Arts Centre to make way for pesky panto rehearsals we will be missing three Monday slots over November and December. There will be no screenings on 6th and 27th November and 4th December.

The rest of this season's programme is now ready. Our first November film is The Pigeon Tunnel, an intersting and final interview sith John le Carre including lots of archive material. That's on the 13th and the week after we're showing Our River...Our Sky, a film set in Baghdad soon after the West's invasion 20 years ago. In December we have On the Adamant, a touching documentary about a barge on the Sienne that houses mentally unwell people. Our final film of 2023 is the newly re-released classic The Red Shoes on the 18th. For more details of our upcoming programme go to our Diary page.

Are you a short film maker?

We relaunched our annual short film exhibition during the Buxton Festival Fringe in July this year and it was a fantastic success. A large audience enjoyed the films selected for screening and voted on their favourite. The exhibition jury awarded prizes and laurels too.

We intend to establish and build on this success with an annual event and bigger prizes. Applications to submit for 2024 will open around February. If you'd like to see the rules for 2023 look here but bear in mind that they may be amended. Use the contact form to add your name to our short film mailing list if you'd like to be informed about next year's exhibition. There are lots of resources and free filmmaking courses available if you want to get started - such as this.
