SUMMARY:Still Making A Scene Matinee - relaxed family friendly (PG/12A) + filmmaker Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our relaxed\, family friendly Opening Gala matinee which includes a soft drink in the ticket price. Walk the red carpet with us and watch some amazing films in a beautiful Northampton venue. Come dressed up ready to have your photo taken or come in whatever you feel comfortable in! Photos are optional (and free!). We’ll also have an opportunity to ask filmmakers present about their films after watching them. \nMost of the films you’ll be watching are part of our 18yrs and Under category\, made by local and British young filmmakers. There’s also music\, comedy\, dance and drama. \nWe’ve got 2 screenings in one event for you – a PG screening 3pm-4pm then a short interval followed by a 20-minute 12A screening from about 3.15pm. For those that just want to see the PG films\, there will be entertainment for you in other rooms in the Abbey – so bring the family and make a creative afternoon of it! All children must be accompanied by a paying adult. \nDoors 2.30pm with screening starting promptly at 3pm (film order may change): \nSI Superficial Intelligence \nNavigating The Net \nThe Missing Piece \nLost in the Backrooms \nGreat Fire of Northampton \nBalls. \nBone Collector \nThen a short break before the 12A films: \nBurnout \nPeaches \nSmall I’s \nDancing To Art \nThese films have some mild bad language and some injury detail\, and contain themes like burnout\, apocalypse and rebellion (!) which you might feel is unsuitable for your child who is under 12. Any age child under 12 can watch these films as long as they are accompanied by an adult. \nAfter watching the films\, elsewhere in the Abbey you can take part in some creative activities and/or view our Rebels and Revolutionaries art exhibition. \nChildren are 16yrs and Under. You don’t need to be a family to use the family ticket – any 2 adults (16yrs+) and 2 children (under 16yrs) can be a family for the day! \nFree parking is a few hundred metres from the venue. The path from the car park to the venue is a flat gravel path. There is step free access to all spaces and a disabled toilet. Some floors in the Abbey are uneven (not our main event space though). We have flexible seating (padded dining room chairs) and the space can accommodate multiple wheelchair users (no need to book a specific ticket or let us know in advance). While music will be played at this event it will be possible to be in spaces without music playing. \nThis is a relaxed screening where people are free to move around\, make a bit of noise and generally be relaxed! If you are a Disabled Person bringing a carer with you to be able to visit\, please contact us to get a free ticket for the carer. \nIf you have any access queries or want more information about the event content\, you are welcome to get in touch via info@northamptonfilmfestival.co.uk\, 07930 646721 or visit our arts space The Creative Place on Northampton Market Square.
