We are offering a special discount for the 2007 Film Festival - buy your pass before 24th December and you get it at 2006 rates, that's non-members £29, members £24 and students and claimants £15.

This is to encourage you to buy all your children, friends, nephews, nieces etc their Christmas present passes!

See the festival site for more details www.keswickfilmfestival.org

What we would ask you to do, because of the rush at the Box Office on a Sunday, is to put your name and address and passes wanted in an envelope with a cheque to Keswick Film Club. Hand it over to us as you buy your ticket next Sunday or drop it through the Alhambra's letter box. Don't be shy to enclose your donation to the running of the Festival - we won't tell anyone. We will then deliver or mail your passes to you in the following week.

Committee Changes

There have been a number of changes to the KFC committee since the end of our 2005-6 season: Alex Greenwood resigned as Festival Director in the summer, D David Miller in September and Nick Graham has decided to move further away and won't be able to carry on with KFC. All three will be missed and we are extremely grateful for all their time and effort over the years.

On the plus side, we welcome Ann Martin who has agreed to become Festival Co-ordinator. Ann is knowledgeable about business and PR, and she has already impressed through her energy and enthusiasm with tackling the task of getting a film festival up and running. But…we remain a little short-handed. If you feel you have some spare time and any relevant skill or expertise, we’d be delighted to hear. It's impossible to give a job description for committee members, but anything from help with distributing our brochure to writing about and introducing films or to organising publicity or social events would be music to our ears.

New Season


We really hope that you like the look of the films on the programme, and that we'll see you at the Alhambra as often as your busy lives permit. Starting with The Squid and the Whale on Sunday, preceded by a short which was equally successful at Sundance: Family Portrait, which won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Short Film.

So please join us for a glass of wine or juice at 4.15 on Sunday if you can, and we'll look forward to seeing a lot of familiar faces and a few new ones, no doubt.
