"It is all about putting the festival back into film festival. This is about no frills film watching; enjoying cinema without the glitz, the glamour and the grandeur that can be off-putting about larger scale film festivals." - Leeds Living

Afterparty

To round it all off, the film festival has organised a chilled-out afterparty and networking session at the esteemed Northern Monk Refectory at Marshall's Mills. This is happening once the last film ends on the Saturday and all film festival attendees receive a 10% off when they show their wristbands at the networking bar.
