Welcome to Keynsham Film Works

We screen films to members and visitors on the first Thursday of the month from September to June at The Space – which is the new building above the library. Doors open at 7.15 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 it’s simply pay on the door (£5).

Full membership for the year is still £30, bring your cheques payable to Keynsham Film Works along on the night to speed the process of signing up, this gives you entry to all 10 films making it £3 per film. You can use pay online here using paypal if you prefer and save the paperwork 🙂

We’ve not had to turn people away yet but we’ve been very close and the numbers are rising so getting in early isn’t a bad idea.

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!).

There’s a new page listing the films we couldn’t fit into next years season of 10 films here: Films to watch out for, have a browse next time you’re searching for something to watch.

We’ve set up a simple bar (run by us) that is only set to cover costs, any suggestions to improve the service greatly received! Hope to see you there and hope you enjoy the film!

Our next film is:

Apostasy

7th November 2019

This film is drawn on the experiences of the director who grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness in Manchester. It tells the story of mother Ivanna and two daughters Alex and Luisa. They all appear to be devout Jehovah’s Witnesses. Tensions arise when Luisa fraternises with non members and becomes pregnant. She is “disfellowshipped” cutting her off from her family and the church. Meanwhile Alex becomes involved with the older Steven, an elder of the church who has moved to the area from London. The film examines the tensions that arise from the estrangement of Luisa, and from the refusal of Alex of the blood needed to help with her anaemia.
