3rd Salford Film Festival 11th-13th November 2005
The 3rd Salford Film Festival returns this November, guest curated by the Commonwealth Film Association. The festival is a three-day celebration of Salford’s movie heritage and the flourishing new wave of filmmakers in the city. The programme will include homegrown classics, contemporary favourites, premieres and the ever popular Filmonik Kabaret. The festival is very much a people’s event and attracted over 4,600 visitors last year.
The Salford Film Festival is free and will take place at the Red Cinema in Salford Quays from 11th -13th November 2005. The programme will be announced at the end of October.
