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:

ColdWar

5th March 2020

In post-Second World War Poland Wiktor, a conductor, intent on preserving Poland’s musical heritage, forms a music Ensemble housed in a dilapidated country villa and falls in love with his helper Zula, in what becomes a love-amongst-the-ruins romance. The Communist state however, wants music to serve as propaganda and Cold War is a film about the hardships of living in exile. Wiktor and Zula scheme to survive and keep their love and ideals intact in and beyond the Iron Curtain. Pawlikowski expertly conveys their palpably tragic yearning as they scheme to escape. Cold War comes highly lauded and is beautifully shot in black and white.

Apollo 11

2nd April 2020
