Welcome to Keynsham Film Works
Screening a film at The Space in Keynsham on the first Thursday of the Month from September to June.
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. This years line-up started with One Life which was probably the most positive exit vote we’ve had, there’s an animation from Hayao Miyazaki (founder of Studio Ghibli), a documentary and plenty of drama. 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:
The Holdovers
5th December 2024
This film follows a pompous, rigid and disliked teacher at a New England prep school. He has to remain on campus during the Christmas holidays in 1970, to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually, only one student remains, a trouble-making 18 year-old, a good scholar whose bad behaviour threatens to get him expelled. Joining them is the school’s head cook, a woman whose son was recently lost in Vietnam. These three very different people form an unlikely Christmas family sharing comic misadventures. The real story is how they help one another understand that they are not beholden to their past but can choose their own futures.
