Midlands Spotlight – The Northampton Film Festival

The Northampton Film Festival 2021: Kind of a Big Deal event is due to take place this month and they have just released their full timetable.

With tickets now live to purchase, the event promises to focus on local filmmakers, the Midlands and even further afield with a whole host of screenings, Q & As and short film showcases.

Highlights of the festival include:

Q & As with Director Gareth Edwards after a screening of his hit film 'Monsters', director Mitch Jenkins with his 'Show Pieces' and Editor Colin Goudie from both.

Premieres including Screen Northants very own feature film Nene and a selection of film previews for audiences to join before they are released into mainstream cinemas. The movie screenings will be showing at Northampton Filmhouse and include Surge from Director Aneil Karia starring Ben Whishaw.

There will also be a day of documentaries and other Award-winning short films with a connection to Northamptonshire itself.

And there’s much more with a Screen Northants Academy day which include free workshops and talks and The Operator short film live streamed into your homes from their set build in the Grosvenor Centre.

In addition to this, a Q & A has been arranged with some of the crew from Duncan Jones’ Moon which heavily inspired The Operator (more on this soon!)

Tickets range from free to around £5.50 for their events and Q & As with exclusive previews are £9.99

Screen Northants are aware fees can be a barrier to attending so on some screenings there is a pay-what-you-feel button and also if you need a ticket to be free to be able to attend please get in touch with them.

Equally if you like what you see then there's a donate button on their site so feel free to help out which will go to help them continue running the Northampton Film Festival.
