Canceled

Event description

Hosted by the University of Nottingham's Film Making Society, with a collection from the next generation of the world's student filmmakers.

About this Event

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 🌿
