Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Beeston Film Festival has chosen not to screen the films in their allocated venue.

Even though screenings will not happen as planned, the festival will carry on. To that end, we will host Facebook Watch Parties (here is the link :https://www.facebook.com/beestonfilm/) to deliver the scheduled 2020 festival program (as far as possible, more details to follow);

In these trying times, the festival team will continue to do its best 🌿
