Festival Patrons are the lifeblood of the Film Festival. Besides the programming - designed to enlighten, enrich and entertain - Patrons allow the Festival to welcome old friends and new visitors into this film community. Our mission is to ensure that all ages and backgrounds are offered a huge variety of films from all over the world, coupled with informative education events.
In addition, a proportion of the money raised goes back into our community through the various charitable schemes that we have initiated since 2020. These include ‘Little People, Big Screen’, where we fund young school children to make short films and then present them at New Park; our Apuldram mornings where we put on private film screenings for young adults from the Apuldram Centre who do not normally attend cinemas; and 'Cinema in a Box' where we provide a film experience for those in local care homes.
Patrons receive priority booking for the Opening and Closing Gala Events, a voucher for two to any film of your choice and two open air screening tickets. Join us next year!
