Festival Weekend Join us for the Festival Weekend (13 - 15 November) and get to experience a totally different type of festival… one at which everyone takes part equally, eats together, drinks together. Highlights include film programmes by Jem Cohen and Milena Gierke, introduced by the artists; discussion sessions with Shezad Dawood, Mark Wilsher, Andrew Kötting, Beatrice Gibson and others; thematic film programmes featuring archive work alongside new films; live music and film performance from Alasdair Roberts & Luke Fowler and DJs including Emma Pettit & Nick Luscombe (Roots & Shoots). It's not about attending a 'film festival'… it's about taking part in a unique temporary community. And with that in mind, all meals are included in the price of the ticket!
