A FEAST of filmic fun for people of all ages and interests, the tenth annual Southampton Film Week gets under way this weekend.

Whether you are a lover of the classics or eager to enjoy the talents of our own local movie makers, there's plenty to entertain, inspire and intrigue audiences from tomorrow until November 19.

SFW: Shorts, the festival’s short film competition, shows off the wealth of talent in the region. In total, 22 short films will be screened and judged at the awards ceremony.

If you are looking for something a little more classic, Mayflower Theatre is taking a trip down memory lane with a screening of Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, a film that it first showed in 1937. You can dress up, explore some of the wonderful archive materials the theatre has from its history and enjoy the movie in the beautiful opulence of the auditorium – just like going to the cinema used to be.

The amazing Compton Pipe Organ which slumbers many a day at the O2 Guildhall will be awoken under the skilled hands of Donald MacKenzie to accompany a screening of Buster Keaton’s masterpiece The Cameraman.

Or try a Cult in the Vault – or in a medieval tower! Eighties classic The Lost Boys can be enjoyed in the beautiful Lankester Vault, one of the City’s hidden underground treasures and through the week Southampton Film Week will host a range of films and events at the stunning God’s House Tower, culminating with the Hitchcock classic, Strangers on a Train.

For those interested in artists’ moving image, God’s House Tower will be host to a an evening of short film in collaboration with John Hansard Gallery which continues its exploration of themes developed through its work in the summer around home and good neighbours. Also at God’s House Tower, local artist Kye Wilson will present his filmwork Angel:legnA, installed throughout the week and with a reception and talk by the artist.

The festival’s closing event this year sees a return to the charming Red Hot Press where the wonderful Stephen Fry and the Gutenberg Press will screen, sharing the story of the first printing press and how it changed the world forever.

There's also an exciting Youth Film Festival programme.

Susan Beckett, Director of Southampton Film Week and City Eye the film charity which runs the festival, told the Daily Echo that she is particularly proud of the programme this year “The standard and range of films being made here is incredibly exciting and we are thrilled to provide so much home-grown talent with a screening – including a number of premieres.
