A Bunch of Amateurs (plus discussion)

  • Lansdown Hall Lansdown GL5 1BB (map)

Lansdown Film Club presents A Bunch of Amateurs, which won the Audience Award at Sheffield Doc Fest 2022. Director Kim Hopkins introduces us to one of the oldest amateur film clubs - the Bradford Movie Makers. They are a quintessentially British, working-class filmmaking club, growing old together amid flickering memories and challenging final years. Clinging to their dreams, and to each other, fuelled by endless cups of tea, this gently comedic, profoundly moving portrait of shared artistic folly speaks to the escapist dreamer in us all and to the enduring power of face-to-face time together, in an increasingly lonely, digital age. A Bunch of Amateurs creates a beautiful sense of belonging and celebrates the bonds formed over a wild shared dream.

1hr 35mins plus online discussion with members of the production team
