Closing Weekend: Newsletter

We have just 2 more days left now so it really is time to make sure you don’t miss out! We’ve added some repeat and NEW screenings to the programme! To make deciding what to watch easier for you, we’ve produced an updated timetable that you can download as a PDF.

Announcements:

SURPRISE FILM 2! (CFF 15) Addition
Sun 25 8.15pm @ ArtsPicturehouse
Whilst our annual SURPRISE FILM has now sold out as per usual, our Festival Director has surprised us all by announcing a second, entirely different Surprise Film! Having used our imagination we’re naming this SURPRISE FILM 2 (Cert. CFF 15). Tickets are already selling fast. If you missed out on tickets for the 6pm option but are keen to enjoy the liberating feeling of finding out what the film is only as the lights go down, book online now or phone the box office (0871 902 5720) – or ask at the Arts Picturehouse. All we can tell you is that you will be some of the first in the UK to see this film…!
