Cornwall Film Festival Presents the UK Premiere of SUMMER IN FEBRUARY

 

Cornwall Film Festival is thrilled to be presenting the UK premiere of the hottest new British film release, SUMMER IN FEBRUARY, in partnership with Merlin Cinemas in Penzance on 3rd June and with The Poly in Falmouth on 4th June.
 
With Lamorna and Prussia Cove providing the backdrop for this beautiful adaptation of Jonathan Smith’s 1995 novel, Metrodome Distribution are giving Cornish audiences this opportunity to see the film 11 days in advance of its UK release on the 14th June.
 
Directed by Christopher Menaul and starring Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Dominic Cooper (The Devil’s Double), Emily Browning (Sucker Punch), Summer in February is set in the years running up to the First World War and focuses on the wild and bohemian Lamorna Group of the Newlyn artist’s colony, dominated by the charismatic Alfred Munnings. The incendiary anti-Modernist Munnings, now one of Britain’s most sought-after artists, is at the heart of a complex love triangle, also involving aspiring young painter Florence Carter-Wood and Gilbert Evans, the land agent in charge of the Lamorna estate.
Inspired by the true diaries of Evans, Summer in February, reveals the tragic consequences of this ill-fated love affair and casts light on the Newlyn colony which fuelled Cornwall’s international reputation for art.
 
The Savoy Cinema in Penzance will host the premiere screening of Summer in February at 8pm on Monday 3rd June, which will be followed by a Q&A with members of the cast and crew. This event has now SOLD OUT!

The screening at The Poly in Falmouth will take place on Tuesday 4th June at 7.30pm, followed by a Q&A with the author and screenwriter Jonathan Smith. Tickets available via www.thepoly.org.

C-Fylm Community Cinema

 

Cornwall Film Festival is really excited to be working with Carn to Cove this year on an exciting new project  funded by FEAST and Creative Engand to bring the cinema experience to rural communities across Cornwall - C-Fylm!
 
Carn to Cove has been instrumental in the formation of successful community cinemas now running across Cornwall in Bude (Bude Community Cinema), Launceston (FLIC: Film Launceston in the Community), Carnon Downs, Stithians and many more of the 85 communities who are part of the live Carn to Cove performing arts network.
 
As part of this new initiative, C-Fylm is offering to support community venues to screen a season of films for their local audience; offering people across Cornwall the chance to watch great films in their own community, in the company of friends and family, at an affordable price.

Communities who are part of the scheme will be able to access:
  • Support from C-Fylm to establish a film club to suit their local audience, whether it be with mainstream Hollywood releases or special interest cinema, art-house or foreign language films.
  • Advice on programming, marketing and on creating a social event for the community
  • Use of projection equipment and technical support.
  • Access to the Motion Picture Licensing Company blanket licence for public screening of films
