For the first time this century, Keswick will be without its annual Film Festival this February. Covid-19 is no
respecter of tradition and Keswick Film Festival is just one of many events that has been taken off the calendar.
As late as December we were still planning a low-key weekend of film at the end of February, with a tie-in
to the Glasgow Film Festival. It was not to be, as the latest lockdown was announced and we now understand
that Glasgow is going online.
We are thinking of a mini Festival when it is safe to go back to the Cinema again, however who knows when that will be?
We look forward to welcoming you back as soon as possible.
Ian Payne
Festival Director
