Welcome to Keynsham Film Works
We’ve back to our normal schedule as the printed leaflet, so the next film is Small Things Like These.
Our new leaflet is now available listing next years films – look out for your copy at the Council Offices, The Library and around Town.
Keynsham GreenScreen
Thursday 20th November is the date for the third and last of our GreenScreen films – The Oil Machine.
GreenScreen is a short season of films in response to the environmental and climate crisis. All playing at The Space as usual, still on a Thursday but in the middle of the month.
The films run for 3 months; 18th September “Ocean”, 16th October “Six Inches of Soil” and 20th November “The Oil Machine”. They are not part of the film membership so everyone pays £5 on the door, no booking necessary but please come early to ensure a seat.
We showcase a mix of indie gems, world cinema, cult classics, and hidden treasures you may have missed or didn’t make it to the mainstream cinemas. Join us for a cinematic experience in the heart of Keynsham where you’re never quite sure what you’re going to get!
Everyone’s welcome, bring your friends and enjoy a drink with the film – if you’re trying us out for the first time (where have you been?) it’s £5 on the door. We screen films to members and visitors on the first Thursday of the month from September to June at The Space – which is above the library. Doors open at 7.10 for a 7.45 start. We can get quite busy and (so far) seats are on a first come first served basis, there’s no booking in advance.
The entrance to The Space is the side door on Temple Street (opposite Iceland) as there is no access via the Library.
Full membership for the year is still £30, cash, card payments or cheques (payable to Keynsham Film Works) can be made on the night, this gives you entry to all 10 films making it £3 per film. You can pay on our website here using paypal if you prefer and save the paperwork 🙂
If you’d like to receive reminders of the next film via email please join the mailing list – we only send a quick email out on the Monday before the film with details and any relevant message (like snow warnings!).
Our next film is:
Small things like these
6th November 2025
In 1985, devoted father and coal merchant Bill Furlong discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent, and uncovers shocking truths of his own. The film, adapted from the Booker Prize nominated novel by Claire Keegan, reveals truths about Ireland’s Magdalene laundries – horrific asylums run by Roman Catholic institutions from the 1820s until 1996. These institutions were ostensibly to reform “fallen young women”, but in fact forced these young girls into unpaid labour. It also delves into Bill’s past, exploring his childhood and how he has chosen to live his life in response to earlier losses.
