Hide AdThe festival, platforming diverse working class talent, took place in July 2023 and attracted the attention of BAFTA-winning filmmaker Ken Loach, who opened the festival. It was a first for the town.
On the partnership with Inspire, festival director Jay Martin, said: “This partnership in particular is to help towards our mission to make film accessible to all across Nottinghamshire and share the magic of Mansfield Town Film Festival across the county.”
Festival organisers will give an introduction to each film, sharing insights into the film-making process and judging decisions.
The adult-only screening will be held on the first floor of the building and has good lift access, with wheelchair spaces available.
Doors will open 10 minutes before the screening.
