Oli Bentley, from Split Design, has done another amazing job on the brochure this year – it is in a new format but with the same stunning visuals. You can download a copy here or pick up a copy when you are in Keswick – the timeline is an essential part of the festival weekend.
There is also a full version of the programme to download as a simple pdf – its in black and white and ideal for perusing in those dim cinemas.
To get you in the mood for a whole weekend of film, we have teamed up with the Alhambra and Glasgow Film Festival to bring three UK premieres to Keswick in the run up to our Festival. Starting with their opening film The Outfit on Wednesday 2nd March, followed by The Happening to recognise International Women's Day on the 8th and their closing film Murina on Sunday 13th, after the Film Club's screening of Lingui,The Sacred Bonds.
You can find more details on these films including links to book tickets on our Glasgow Film Festival page.

This March we are fortunate that many of our favourite directors have new releases that we can screen. How do the latest films from Clio Barnard, Jacques Audiard, François Ozon, Joanna Hogg and Julia Ducournau sound as a line up?

There may not have been a Keswick Film Festival in 2021 but the Osprey Short Film Awards still went ahead. Entries for the competition were invited back in March 2020 and despite the difficulties of working for much of the year with lockdown restrictions Cumbrian filmmakers responded magnificently in both the Student and Open categories.
The 12 shortlisted films were shown at the Alhambra on the 23rd October and prizes were awarded to Shadow Of The Mountain by Simon Phelps in the Open category and The Love Song Of T. S. Eliot by Kitty Handley in the Student category.
