Penwith Film Society
Welcome to Penwith Film Society, showing the best new and classic cinema from around the world to audiences in West Cornwall.
For the first time, as well as current releases, we are screening mini-season of masterpieces of European cinema. These classic films have been chosen for their individual brilliance, but they also share thematic resonances: the relationship between personal and social identity; different forms of belonging; the chaos of social and individual madness and resultant games of power. They also show a rich diversity of form and feeling: terrifying, tender, sexy, hilarious, poignant.
This season features a rich and varied array of films, new releases and classics from around the world, very broadly focusing on themes relating to the family - from tales of siblings and parents to examinations of identity, politics and religion.
We'll be publishing full details in the very near future, but here's the list.
