Keswick Film Club was formed in December 1998, and produced its first short season of 10 films in the period February - April 1999. Based at the Alhambra Cinema, the Club is run by a group of enthusiasts who try to bring the people of Keswick and the surrounding area the best of British and World cinema: high quality, thought-provoking films which are often not given a screening in the local cinemas.
Once again KFC was short-listed in both Film Society of the Year and Best Programme categories of the annual British Federation of Film Societies Awards. They were very pleased to win the Best Programme Award again! It's thought to be unprecedented to manage it two years running, and apparently the judges had the some way ahead (together with an enterprising student society that programmes theme-linked double-headers). |
