Only a miracle can save Britain’s oldest amateur film club from its final demise. Sometimes miracles come from unexpected places.
Members of Bradford Movie Makers, the most quintessentially British working-class filmmaking club, grow old amid flickering memories and the brutal reckoning of their final years. Desperately clinging to their dreams, and to each other, fuelled by endless cups of tea, this quietly hilarious, profoundly moving portrait of shared artistic folly speaks to the delusional escapist dreamer in us all and to the need to spend time together face to face in an increasingly lonely, digital age.
“A profoundly moving and funny film that acts as an extraordinary document of the power of community and art.” - Guardian
“A thoroughly moving and ultimately joyful affair” - Cineuropa
