The first screening of our SCENE programme will be taking place at the end of September in Wellington, Somerset as part of Wellington Film Festival!
1hr 30mins
Our Scene screenings will kick off later this month as part of the first Wellington Film Festival, delivered by Somerset Film. You’ll be able to catch our programme of 14 short films made by young filmmakers from across the South West which range from animation to period drama and experimental documentary. And with the screening taking place in a church, it’s going to be a bit more special than sitting down in another black box of a cinema!
After the screening, we’re really excited to have Hector Bell, who directed Coming to Light join us for a Q&A about his film.
