Hellfire@Home Film Festival
We are in unprecedented and unknown territory right now. Many countries are in lockdown while in other places individuals are self-isolating in order to stem the spread of the COVID-19 disease. So what we are doing is launching a new festival specifically for those who are unable to attend events due to the closure of many entertainment buildings. ‘Hellfire@Home Film Festival‘ is a brand new film festival where you can attend without leaving your living room.
The Specials
‘The Specials‘ events include the Christmas specials, memorial evenings and special Q&A evenings with film industry professionals.
The Classics
On occasion we screen different classic films in many venues around south east UK. Some of these films include independent films plus Hollywood blockbusters.
