Surprise Film

Every year we present a surprise movie – a film which has absolutely no advance warning of title, director, stars or genre – just a time and a place. Every year, it sells out. Are Festival audiences mad? Considering we lavish so much energy on providing full information for our screenings, it may seem odd to actively keep something secret – but we know from past experience that you love a mystery! What will it be this year? Only the Festival Director knows for certain, and neither truth drugs nor hypnotic flashing lights have persuaded him to divulge
the information. Even the projectionists are kept in the dark (a novelty for them, I'm sure).

➜ Past Surprise Films have included Herzog's RESCUE DAWN, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, the first UK screening of A COCK AND BULL STORY and, last year, BURN AFTER READING. So with no hype and no reviews to distract you, simply sit back in your seat, let the lights dim and watch as the truth is finally revealed!
