A Bunch of Amateurs

• Director: Kim Hopkins
• Country: UK, 2022 (running time: 95m)
• Cert: 12A

F-Rated, Preview

There was a time when amateur film societies flourished in every part of this country, but most have gone to that great celluloid graveyard in the sky. Kim Hopkins's delightful documentary turns its focus on a surviving film society - Bradford Movie Makers - which is both a creative hub, and a crucial source of community for its members. The ageing membership is an issue, as is the core purpose of the society - are making films and watching films compatible? It's a gorgeous film, which received an ovation at Sheffield DocFest, encapsulating so much of how our world works (and doesn't work) through the tiny lens of one small but determined group of people.
