  • LEICESTER 1ST - 4TH JULY
  • NOTTINGHAM 15TH - 18TH JULY

In addition, the region’s filmmakers can get involved as Thursday evenings at each screening will feature a showcase of short movies from independent filmmakers. Highlighting the work of local creatives, they hope to give audiences an exclusive chance to see some fantastic new cinema.
 
In addition, they will be donating £2 from every ticket sold to support the local film organisations within each city. 
 
If you are a short filmmaker and would like to submit your work for consideration, please email info@filmandfoodfest.com

Adventure Cinema are also offering a 100% money back guarantee should anything mean events cannot go ahead. They will refund the full amount that you paid for your tickets, including the booking fee.

They are also ensuring they are fully compliant with government restrictions on social distancing and all events have toilet facilities, including accessible facilities.

Guests of any age can attend but those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 18. The film certification always applies, so they are asking attendees to please make sure the film is suitable and of the correct certification.
