Programme Changes

We've changed the times of some of the films showing in the Studio to give people time to move from the earlier films in the Alhambra and Theatre.

• Door Out Of The Dark and My DDR T-Shirt will now start at 15:45 on Friday 26th

• Gypo will now start at 16:45 on Saturday 27th

Festival Timelime

The film festival passes are selling well and the preparations are nearly done. Some of the films are starting to arrive and our guests Jan Dunn, Tony Grisoni, the Poussins plus Jan from the BFI archive, the Gardner sisters, who will be playing along with our silent film and, we hope, Ian Hawkins and Francisco Roya will all be here.

One of our Film Club attendees has sent us a Timeline which shows options of which films you can get to, when you have time for a cup of coffee - and that two of our films overlap. We are looking to change that but meanwhile I hope you will find the Timeline useful.

So get your tickets, book your accommodation - that should be easier this year as we have avoided half term - and make your arrangements. Yesterday was bright sunshine and like Spring and whilst we can't guarantee you that, we can guarantee you a great Film Festival

See you in a few weeks

11th Keswick Film Festival 2010

Plans are well under way for the 11th Film Festival. This year we are trying it at a weekend which is not half-term. Responding to feedback from people who say it is hard to get here, and that B&Bs are full over the half-term weekend, we hope that this will suit both our regular supporters and our guests to Keswick.

The Festival will start with the Party at the Theatre by the Lake for pass-holders and invited guests, followed by the opening film. We will then have our usual 30 + films over the next three days.

Guests include Tony Grisoni, acclaimed script-writer of the Red Riding trilogy and films such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas; Jan Dunn, director of Gypo and The Calling; and maybe more...

Films At The 11th Keswick Film Festival

The brochure for the 11th Keswick Film Festival should be available early in 2010 and over the next few weeks we'll be whetting your appetite by announcing some of the films making up the programme on the website.
