Purbeck Film Festival
October 16 - November 1
The Purbeck Film Festival was founded in 1996 by a group of cinema enthusiasts working with Purbeck District Council and the Rex Cinema, to mark the centenary of cinema. What began with 21 screenings and an audience of 1,700 has grown into one of the UK’s most cherished rural film festivals.
Today, the Festival presents over 100 films across unique venues from village halls and Durlston Castle to outdoor screenings beneath the stars at Corfe Castle attracting an audience of 8,000 and welcoming distinguished guests including Dame Maggie Smith and Sir Mark Rylance.
