Penwith Film Society
Welcome to Penwith Film Society, showing the best new and classic cinema from around the world to audiences in West Cornwall.
You don’t need to be a Penwith Film Society member to come along, you’re very welcome.
Thanks to the generosity and hard work of staff at Merlin Cinemas we are really pleased to announce in association with Alternative Cinema, Penwith Film Society has returned from the Covid slough of despond! These films will be shown in Penzance, St Ives and Falmouth.
We've chosen a season in which you will find plenty of cinematic gems, mostly brand new films from around the planet, and in Penzance a special screening of Seven Samurai in a new restoration from BFI.
Next up...
In post-war Germany, liberation by the Allies doesn’t mean freedom for everyone. Over the course of decades, Hans is spied on and repeatedly jailed under Paragraph 175, a law criminalising homosexuality. As Hans returns to prison again and again, he develops an unlikely bond with his cellmate Viktor, a convicted murderer. What begins as revulsion blossoms into something far more tender in Sebastian Meise’s searing depiction of love in the face of injustice that was named winner of the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize at Cannes.
