Purbeck Film Festival is in its 27th year (2022), during which time it has grown from small beginnings to encompass over 30 venues located in Purbeck and East Dorset, screening around 80 films.
Our primary aim is to offer audiences access to the very best of UK and international film. We have introductions to all events and wherever possible have VIPs from industry and academia who hold Q&A’s.
A large % of films are foreign language, from often nearly 20 countries. The film programming is deigned to represent other cultures, lifestyles and world views. Audience surveys testify to the fact that members of our community relish the opportunity to be presented with new perspectives, stories and subject matter.
