Welcome to Keynsham Film Works

This months film is on Thursday the 8th May due to the elections on the 1st.

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:

Scala!!!

5th June 2025

An anarchic and ultimately heartbreaking documentary telling the riotous inside story of London’s legendary Scala cinema. Its diverse film offering spanned high art, cult classics, sexploitation, horror, Kung-Fu and LGBTQIA+. The historic London venue was a punk and queer mecca offering a community refuge for film lovers, creatives, as well as rockers, misfits and activists and inspired generations of film-makers, artists and musicians. Co-directed by the cinema’s former programmer Jane Giles, it’s a wealth of unseen interviews, archive and film clips revelling in the communal and subversive power of film going during Britain’s post-punk Thatcher years.

Warning: Contains strong real sex.
