Happy New Year to all our viewers!
Holmfirth Film Festival gets up and running for new year 2019 with a season of international award winners - simply the best films of the last year.
Our apologies for the gap in activities since last year's film festival: we have had a number of issues to resolve around venues. New arrangements for 2019 include a regular screening (last Sunday evening of each month) at HOLMFIRTH CIVIC HALL.
Events and fund-raisers will continue at Holmfirth Picturedrome - watch this space for upcoming announcements.

Notice
We have a really great bunch of volunteers; if you would like to join us and get involved, please do contact us. We are especially looking for those who might be good on the technical side of setting up and 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 (lots of lifting and carrying) and manning events (looking after and making events enjoyable for filmgoers), .
(Dir. Pawel Pawlikowski, Poland, 2018)
Stunning multi-award winning passionate romance about an impossible love set in the impossible times of Cold War Poland. Beautiful black and white cinematography and controlled direction produced the film of the year.
DOORS/BAR OPEN 6.30pm
(Dir. Agnes Varda, France 2017)
CAPTIVATING FILM FROM THE LEGENDARY FRENCH DIRECTOR
Simply wonderful and utterly compelling as two artists go on a playful road trip across France in the classic nouvelle vague spirit. The life affirming film of the year.
DOORS/BAR OPEN 6.30pm
(Dir. Kore-eda Hirokaju, Japan 2018)
WINNER CANNES PALME D'OR
Already regarded by both critics and audiences as a 'Modern Classic' about families - a family of shoplifters who are on the ragged edge of society but are totally connected. Emotional, compassionate and beautifully directed by Kore-eda - one of the world's truly great film directors.
DOORS/BAR OPEN 6.30PM
Great Holmfirth stuff here:
