It’s happening again. Thursday 30 September to Sunday 3 October sees the village full of music, art, film, drama, dance and fun. Festival website will contain full details this weekend, though a brief outline is there now (www.forestrowfestival.com). There’s also a Facebook group, and everyone is encouraged to post your pictures to Flickr.

We’re showing several films: First, the wonderful new documentary about The Doors will be on Friday 1 October as a late nighter (starts at 10pm). It is just made up of archive footage, much of it never available before, and has Johnny Depp doing the narration. Well worth a viewing.

On Saturday 2 October we are screening another Buster Keaton with live music from Terry Davies. This year it will be Seven Chances, which was released in 1925, and even includes a tiny colour sequence. It has quite a slow build, but is very funny and has a hilarious climax.

Please note that, due to unforeseen circumstances, the animation workshop has had to be cancelled. Sorry about that, but we will have another in March.

However, we also have some art films made by Ilka Leukenfeld, which will be on Saturday at 5pm in the village hall. Then we finish on Sunday at 1pm with some great short films made locally.

We look forward to seeing you
