Penwith Film Society scooped an award at the Film Society of the Year Awards ceremony a coupla weeks back.
Started in 1996 with just one screening, Penwith Film Society is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to presenting the best new examples of independent, alternative and contemporary cinema often overlooked by yer local cineplexes.
Screenings take place at Penzance’s Savoy Cinema and the Royal in St Ives and reflect the hip’n’swinging social make up of the peninsula with its high concentration of artists, writers, filmmakers, musicians and dramatists.
The society is showing Michel Gondry’s Science Of Sleep (click below to watch the trailer) this weekend. For more details, check out the Penwith Film Society website and see D+CFilm’s weekly Arthouse Roundup.
Other winners at the Film Society of the Year Awards included the University of Exeter’s CinSoc for Best Student Society and Bridport Film Society for Best Programme Notes (whatever that means).
