BITTERSWEET FILM FESTIVAL 2026

£10.00

An evening of independent cinema, curated by Bittersweet.

Join us at Arc Cinema Blackpool for a special one-night screening celebrating independent filmmaking and the voices behind it.

Bringing together eight short films, the programme explores a range of stories, perspectives and emotions. Eight different films, each with its own identity, offering a glimpse into the creativity and talent of independent filmmakers.

Set within the impressive surroundings of Arc Cinema, with its large-format screen and newly fitted leather recliner seating, the evening offers the opportunity to experience these films as they were meant to be seen.

The programme will also include a live Q&A with a selection of the filmmakers and actors, offering an opportunity to hear directly from the people behind the work and gain a little insight into the creative process.

An evening dedicated to independent film, emerging voices and the stories that deserve a bigger screen.
