Opening Gala: Still Making A Scene (15) + filmmaker Q&A
February 28 @ 6:15 pm
Join us on the red carpet for our evening Opening Gala to celebrate our 5th birthday – with this year’s theme Still Making A Scene.
Join us to celebrate the Rebels and Revolutionaries, Misfits and Mavericks, Creatives and Changemakers of Northamptonshire and beyond – be part of our scene for the night, a place where people can come together to connect, create and celebrate. Working with filmmakers, artists and our wonderful audiences, we’ve built a vibrant creative scene locally over the past 5 years and we hope to continue to be the home of film, creativity and connection in Northants for more years to come…
So let’s party and watch some amazing films. Dressing up is encouraged – Make A Scene – but any get up is fine – be comfortable and be you.
Your ticket includes a glass of prosecco which can be swapped on the night for a beer or soft drink. If you are under 18yrs you will automatically be given a soft drink. Proof of age may be required so bring your ID!
