We're back to start 2026 with a fantastic little screening! We've got stop-motion animation, comedy, thriller, suspensful drama, horror, 2D animation and even an interesting (comedic) take on the dangers of trusting AI to advise you!
The filmmakers will also be there to answer questions about their films and introduce them. It's a great way to do some networking and meet filmmakers who are actively making material, right here in our region!
We will be raffling off some cinema tickets, posters and film memorabilia as well - you can get tickets for £1 each or £4 for a strip of five!
Join us - it's still a free event to attend!
