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.
Supporters 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!
A big thanks you to our Film Partners as well, who have pledged to give directly towards specific film screenings. Their names can be found next to the films in the brochure, on the programme notes, and in the Festival website.
