Is The Father another film made for Keswick? A great British Drama starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman; how good can it get?
A film written by the director from his own stage play, especially for Anthony Hopkins who plays the Father; maybe no surprise then that Anthony Hopkins has had amazing reviews and has become the oldest winner of an Oscar for Best Actor.
"Haunting and credible, powered by some unshakable performances." - Hannah Strong, Little White Lies

We are holding the club AGM at 4.15 pm on Sunday 31 October, in the Alhambra, before the showing of Riders of Justice. It is important as always for the Club, but maybe more so than normal after a year of little activity; we need to get everything moving again. Anyone who wants to help the club in any way is welcome at any time but the AGM is a good place to put yourself forward.
You can find more details on ways you can help, the agenda for the AGM and other documents on our AGM page.
