The Cramphorn Theatre is celebrating its 10th birthday with a film festival next February. The festival will be called “The Little Big Screen Film Festival 2010″ and could be the first of many if it is a success.
The Cramphorn’s manager, Tom Johnson, who has been involved in the Cramphorn film project since it started in 1999, decided that a film festival would be an ideal way to celebrate 10 years of fringe film in Chelmsford. The festival will run from Sunday 14th to Saturday 20th of February.
“I felt like celebrating 10 years and we had a week in February that was free. So, we decided we would have a film festival. What we will do is choose the most popular film from people’s votes and nominations and screen it next year.”
Highlights in the next few months include a chance to see the Alfred Hitchcock directed, ‘North by Northwest’ in October and the new Penélope Cruz movie, ‘Broken Embraces’ in December.
