Welcome
Welcome to the fifth Dumfries Film Festival – an intense week of film across Dumfries and Galloway with local cinema screenings in Dumfries, Moffat, Annan and the Isle of Whithorn.
We’ve been on a diet since last year’s bumper food themed festival and have slimmed down a bit (less funding these days). Focussing on quality rather than quantity we have a fantastic array of films, quizzes and events to entertain all ages with a special youth strand running though the week – young programmers, young characters, young production companies and films for young people (and for all of us still young at heart too).
We hope that you will you will spring into film and enjoy!
Fiona Wilson (Film Officer) and Darren Connor (Guest Programmer)
Filling in for Film Officer Alice Stilgoe who while on maternity leave
enjoying quality time with baby girl Bonnie, still managed to do sterling work
programming most of this festival for your enjoyment.
Young Programmers' Forum Spring 2011:
Alex Bryant • Cameron Forbes • Luke Maloney • Connor McMorran • Ruth Swift-Wood • David Barker • Tom Archer • Lauren Halliday • Beth Ashby • Danielle Welsh • James Pickering
Four Young Programmer’s Choice screenings at RBCFT are the culmination of a six-week course for young people aged 16-24 that explored film programming. The theme of Youth and the films themselves have been specially selected and will be introduced by members of the forum. Funded by Regional Screen Scotland.
If you would like to know more please talk to one of our young programmers at the end of the screenings.
