Caldbeck's Friendly Friday Films 2025-26

Welcome to our Autumn run of great films!

We are pleased to announce that the new season of films starts in September!

From cheese-making in France, to love in the Italian Alps, to the drama of a cat escaping flood waters... this season of handpicked films are all recent releases and between them have picked up awards at Cannes, the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards.

At the AGM it was agreed we needed to as much as possible find 'current' films with successful theatrical releases and excellent reviews. For this reason we will only announce a few films at a time, so the Winter and Spring choices will follow.

Dinner this year will be a suitably Italian dish served up before Vermiglio on Friday 17th October - we will be signing you up nearer the date but get all dates in your diary and don't miss any of these lovely films.

Contact Greg Hackett or Roger Gook for more details or to be added to the CAFS mailing list.

You can now also find Caldbeck Area Film Society on Facebook.

All films are at Caldbeck Village Hall with a 7.30pm start time.

Films are £6 on the door, card accepted.

Do come along with your families and friends.

We will be serving refreshments after the film, so do stop for a chat.

Friday 20th March: My Favourite Cake

We finish the season with another film that shows us that the world can be a wonderful place.

"My Favourite Cake" is a delightfully warm film from Iran. A spark of romance lights up the quiet life of a couple in Iran. But present day Iran is not an easy place for romance and the intrusion of authority has to be dealt with.

The critics loved it - here's some of their comments:

"My Favourite Cake is truly one of the best films I've seen, and its brilliance has stayed with me. Witty, funny, and packed with exceptional acting, it delivers on every level"

"An absolutely stunning, but utterly devastating film. Unlike you've ever seen before, or will ever see again."

"A tender and simple tale—like a contemplative yet drunken sage, it lingers on life's quiet sorrows."
