193: Stroud Film Festival 2022

The Stroud Film Festival returns for 2022 with some exciting films and live events. To get the lowdown on what is happening this year, we spoke to Co. Director of the Festival, Andy Freedman. The festival launch is Friday 4th March at the Stroud Subscription Rooms (check out the link to the programme below). After that, you will find an event on most days up to the closing night of Sunday 27th March. In this podcast we talk about some of the highlights that make this festival such a unique experience. Amongst the films are a number relating to film music, including Sisters With Transistors (with a Q and A with director Lisa Rovner), The Tape, after which star and director Martha Tilston will perform a set and an event where local young musicians will perform new soundtracks they have written to classic silent films, including A Trip To The Moon. Other events to look out for are special screenings of Napoleon Dynamite and The Greatest Showman and a screening of Chasing Mandela’s Rainbow where your very own At The Flicks will be running a Q & A with director Gary Janks after the film (For more on this special movie, check out our show 98). If you have an interest in cinema then the Stroud Film Festival, which runs until 27th March is a festival you will not want to miss.
