SOCIAL MEDIA

Lots more about the festival can be found on our social media - check them out

Volunteer

We have a really great bunch of volunteers; if you love film and want to join us, please get in touch. We are especially looking for anyone who might be good on the technical side of screening films, we also need social media enthusiasts who can help promote the festival, as well as anyone interested in film who can help setting up events (lots of lifting and carrying) and working at front of house (looking after and making events enjoyable for filmgoers).

Welcome to Holmfirth Film Festival

It has proved impossible to mount a physical film festival this year for reasons that are obvious. We are already thinking about next year and have been at the forefront of trying to develop co-operation with other Holmfirth festivals and the Holme Valley Parish Council with the aim of promoting 'Holmfirth 2021: The Year of Festivals' and helping local community venues, whose presence is vital for festivals and events, to survive.

Thanks to the welcome restraint of our Treasurer we have managed to preserve our reserves and will be able to return to monthly Sunday screenings and mount a bumper festival next year. In the meantime...

HOLMFIRTH FILM FESTIVAL ONLINE - 27-29TH NOVEMBER 2020
A winter warmer of FILM QUIZZES, ANIMATION COMPETITION WINNERS, SHORT FILMS, LOCAL AND HISTORIC FILMS, THE MARKET CAMPAIGN, PHOTOGRAPHS, INTERVIEWS, REVIEWS.

NEXT QUIZ NIGHT 25 FEB...

We are planning another quiz on Thurs 25 Feb. Currently sorting out detail - but the quiz will be slightly different (will include questions other than film and, hopefully, will be longer)... Watch this space!

HFF Films of 2019 - 2020

These are the films that we had intended to screen this year. It probably hasn't been a vintage year because releases started to dry up as soon as the virus became known. There were, however, some fine films out there - as there always is - but one generally had to search deeper for them.

Local Short Films

Over the years, one of the most loved and well attended events has been the local film night - we've shown films by local film makers, such as Miss Lockwood, Wylbert Kemp, Andrew Wicks and Mike Wade. As well as some firm favourites about the area and it's people.
