FRIDAY "A Bunch of Amateurs" (12A) - at the Studio Queen Mother Theatre

This is a funny, charming and profound film about friendship and community and what that means in reality. You will leave uplifted with a spring in your step.

Bradford Movie Makers are one of the last amateur film making groups left. The film follows them and their lives over a 3 year period. Friendships, ridiculous ideas, biscuits, bickering and cups of tea... make for a genuinely inspiring evening. "I want to remake the opening scenes of Oklahoma...riding the horse and singing...."

This is your opportunity to slip on your most outrageous gown/blouse/shirt/dressing gown and have a dance under the stars. This year we're asking you to be a master of disguise, so don your favourite venetian mask (other styles accepted).
