There will be a Q&A with the Amateurs, writer/director/co-producer Kim Hopkins, and co-producer Margaréta Szabó at the screening on 8 November.
The audience winner at this year's Sheffield Documentary Festival, this surprising gem of a documentary profiles the Bradford Movie Makers, the oldest amateur film club around. Formed in 1932 back when the golden era of Hollywood inspired an equivalent in every Northern town, Bradford is the last determined survivor. With ageing members, dwindling funds and crumbling premises, they have to continually fight for survival, but their resolution to do so - despite some dubious film projects - is an inspiration. This warm, funny and tenderly moving film is the perfect antidote for an uncertain, digital age.
The screening of A Bunch of Amateurs on 8 Nov will include English subtitles. The screenings on 9 and 10 November will include subtitles for the D/deaf and people experiencing hearing loss.
