Welcome to Keynsham Film Works
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:
12 Angry Men
5th February 2026
This 1957 film is a classic Legal drama film – probably the best of it’s type. It is very much made as a comment on the American jury system during the mid 20th century. The film covers the story of a jury of 12 men as they deliberate whether to convict or acquit a teenager charged with murder on the basis of “reasonable doubt”. When it came out, the film was a ‘slow-starter’ in box office terms, but it was highly acclaimed by critics, was nominated for 3 Oscars, and is regarded by many as one of the greatest films ever made, and Henry Fonda (Juror no,8) is listed as one of the 30 best movie heroes of all time.
