Birmingham Film Festival - Saturday Film Bonanza & Drinks

Join Us for an Incredible Day of Cinema and Socialising

Hello film lovers! It's that time again!!

The Birmingham Film Festival is back for 2025. We're gathering on the opening Saturday to experience fantastic short films together.

This is your chance to discover brilliant independent cinema. Then we'll head to the pub for social drinks.

## Event Details

Date: Saturday 15 November 2025
Location: Millennium Point, Birmingham
Time: Meet at 3:45 pm sharp

## The Film Programme

We're watching two brilliant film blocks:

Block D: 4pm to 6pm
Block E: 6pm to 8pm

Each block finishes about 10 minutes early. This gives you time for a quick break. Grab a drink from the bar. Pop to the loo. Then we're straight back for more films.

Between the two blocks there's a proper break. Perfect for stretching your legs and having a chat.

You'll see four hours of amazing short films. The Birmingham Film Festival showcases talent from across the world. Expect everything from drama to comedy. Horror to documentaries. Animation to experimental work.

Birmingham has incredible creative talent. The Midlands region is home to brilliant filmmakers and actors. This festival celebrates the very best of independent cinema.

## After the Films: Drinks & Discussion

Once the screenings finish at 8pm, we're heading to the pub.
We'll start at the local bar just outside Millennium Point. This is where the real fun begins. We'll chat about the films we've loved. Share our favourite moments. Debate the stories we've seen.

If everyone's up for it, we might move on to a second pub in the city centre. Grab some food. Continue the conversation.

This is a social event as much as a film event. Come ready to watch brilliant cinema and make new friends.
