Scala!!!
Ali Catterall is an old friend of Keswick film Festival, first coming up here in 2017 as part of the
'Critical Acclaim' critics' forum that year - his film choice, Julia Ducournau's Raw was a genuine late-
night horror that would not have been out of place in the programme at The Scala.
Ali is an award-winning writer, journalist, filmmaker, film critic and editor, whose writing has
featured in the Guardian, Time Out, GQ, Film4, Word magazine and the Big Issue, among many
others.
In 2001, he co-authored Your Face Here: British Cult Movies Since the Sixties, and in 2018 edited
Jane Giles' Scala Cinema, 1978-1993 winner of the 2019 Kraszna-Krausz Award - the only award
dedicated to books about the moving image. In 2021, he co-authored Kindness (A User's Guide) with
Kitty Collins and is working on a memoir about his bizarre childhood.
