Welcome to Keswick Film Club

The films are booked, the brochure has been printed and is waiting at the Alhambra (or can be downloaded as a PDF), tickets can be bought at the Alhambra and the season will begin on September 13th with Colours Of Time. 

The season has several famous directors included -  Pedro Almodovar, Paolo Sorrentino, Marc Evans, Pawel Pawlikowski and László Nemes - which we hope you will approve of, plus an array of newer ones and even first-timers. We visit France, USA, India, Hungary, Spain, Canada, Italy, Greece, Sudan, Nigeria, Wales, Romania, Poland and China - not a bad selection of World Cinema, and we don't have a single one from England for once!

Enjoy the rest of your summer - see you on 13 September.

The dates for the 2027 Keswick Film Festival have been announced as 

18 - 21 March 2027

Julia and the festival team are already planning another inspiring celebration of the best in global cinema to give us all something to look forward to next year.

Another Film Season ends after another great Film Festival. We hope you enjoyed the films; it was certainly a good season wasn't it?! One of the strongest we have had for some time, with several Oscar nominations, two of which were up for Best Film. You obviously appreciated them, with our best audiences since the pandemic, and some pretty high scoring ones too. 'The Voice of Hind Rajab' came out on top for the club...and even rated higher than any other Festival film. A great film with an horrific outcome, leaving us all in silence when it ended...

The Film Festival too was a success once again, with a new team in charge under the guidance of Festival Director Julia Vickers - We are sure you would join us in thanking Julia and all of them. The amazing 'Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk' came out on top with 90.91% rating; if you want to see all the scores take a look at the festival website .

So that's it for this season. Thank you for your support this year; without you there would be no Film Club! We hope you all have a great summer and will join us again for more world films in September. Watch this space for news as we start to think about films for next season.
