This year’s Purbeck Film Festival runs from the 10th to 25th of October.

The festival is the biggest and longest running rural film festival in the UK with over 80 films at a myriad of venues across Purbeck.  The festival is dedicated to the memory of Sir Bill Cotton, who was its President until he sadly passed away earlier this month.

Local film maker Keith Lawes has produced a fantastic animated short trailer for the festival that you can view below or at the Purbeck Film Festival website and which contains a full list of the films on show. You’ll never view the Sandbanks ferry in the same light again!
