the best film they had seen in 2016 for
screening at the Festival and make the case for their selection to
win the Keswick Film Festival's Critics'

Michael Curtiz
The 75th anniversary of the release of
Casablanca is too good an opportunity to miss and this timeless
film will be given even more resonance by
Adam Feinstein's talk providing insight into the works of director Curtiz.

Swallows and Amazons has been
the hit of the summer. Producer
Nick
Barton and Visual Effects Supervisor,
Simon Hughes will be here to tell us
just how they did it.
