Homegrown Shorts will be screened at the Curzon Cinema, in Old Church Road, on March 11 at 7.30pm.

Join us for the Curzon's very own film festival featuring a selection of short films from a selection of the West Country's filmmaking talent.

Featuring films shot in, inspired by or made by filmmakers from the South West, Homegrown Shorts is an opportunity for aspiring filmmakers to reach an audience, and for the Somerset community to support the next generation of cinematic voices.

The evening is a wonderful chance to see what is on offer and meet with the filmmakers themselves.

Among the offerings is the latest short film from Mark Jenkin, director of 2019's BAFTA-nominated sleeper hit Bait.

Hard, Cracked The Wind continues Jenkin's signature and engrossing style.

Shot on a black-and-white 16mm camera, the film is a dark drama of poetry and the power of voices from beyond the grave.

A young Cornish poet is compelled to buy an old writing case, curiously engraved with her own initials.

Opening the case and reading the faint traces of a poem on the paper within calls the previous owner back from the shadows.

Tickets, priced £5, are available at www.curzon.org.uk on 01275 871000.
