Keswick Film Festival kicks off with its own fringe event on Saturday 11th February with a special programme of 4 films at The Alhambra.
Designed as a community event, admission to each film will cost just one penny.

top film critics Matt Glasby, Karen Krizanovich and Ali Catterall as their favourite films of all time. You can see their introductions below and
