Caldbeck's Friendly Friday Films 2025-26

Welcome to our Autumn run of great films!

We are pleased to announce that the new season of films starts in September!

From cheese-making in France, to love in the Italian Alps, to the drama of a cat escaping flood waters... this season of handpicked films are all recent releases and between them have picked up awards at Cannes, the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards.

At the AGM it was agreed we needed to as much as possible find 'current' films with successful theatrical releases and excellent reviews. For this reason we will only announce a few films at a time, so the Winter and Spring choices will follow.

Dinner this year will be a suitably Italian dish served up before Vermiglio on Friday 17th October - we will be signing you up nearer the date but get all dates in your diary and don't miss any of these lovely films.

Contact Greg Hackett or Roger Gook for more details or to be added to the CAFS mailing list.

You can now also find Caldbeck Area Film Society on Facebook.

All films are at Caldbeck Village Hall with a 7.30pm start time.

Films are £6 on the door, card accepted.

Do come along with your families and friends.

We will be serving refreshments after the film, so do stop for a chat.

Friday 17th October : Vermiglio

"Vermiglio weaves a tender, visually beautiful narrative, emblematic of hard times yet filled with moments of warmth and solidity." - Financial Times

Friday 14th November: Flow

A wondrous journey, through realms natural and mystical, Flow follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. A thrilling animated spectacle as well as a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of friendship and community and steeped in the soaring possibilities of visual storytelling, Flow is a feast for the senses and a treasure for the heart.

"A mesmerising, wondrous example of animation's potential; a thoughtful allegory about ecocide and death - No ebbs here: Flow is the real deal." - Empire

Friday 12th December: The Ballad of Wallis Island

An eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favourite musicians back together. His fantasy turns into reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island.

"A bittersweet, cardigan-clad small treasure of a film and a balm for battered souls. If there's any justice in the world it should be the breakout hit of the summer." - The Observer
