On January 29th, we had a cracking start with our first showcase of the new year! We screened a variety of animations, comedies, thrillers and documentaries. Well done to all of our fantastic artists and thank you for kicking off our 2025 in style! We would also like to give the warmest of thank you’s to @jamesonwhiskey for partnering with us this month and for providing our amazing audience with our very own “Picture Perfect” cocktails!
Where the films are not available online, we suggest getting in contact with the creators if you’d like to view them.
