What, When, Who... Why?

When is Movie-Fest?

September 15th, from around 9am until around 11:30pm

What is this festival of movies?

An annual movie-watching marathon, to celebrate Daniel McClelland's birthday. This year, we'll be screening 10 films, over around 14 hours or so. You can choose to come to one film, a few, or the whole lot (if you're particularly brave). The way you attend Movie-Fest is entirely up to you! Come see whatever tickles your fancy, or whenever your schedule allows.

The list of films will be announced soon, so be sure to check back here for further details.

Why is this year special?

Movie-Fest has been running for 10 years now! We've screened 100+ films over the years, to 100+ people, and we're going to make sure that this is one helluva 10th Anniversary for the Movie-Fest event.

What films will be screening?

This year, we're screening 10 films, from 10 decades. The full list of titles will be available soon. The first film will be from the 1920s, the next will be from the '30s, and so on until we get to the 2010s. While the schedule hasn't been fully finalised, we can drop some hints... here's an idea of the genres we'll be watching:

  • 1920s - silent comedy
  • 1930s - animated musical
  • 1940s - romantic comedy
  • 1950s - surrealist romance
  • 1960s - time-travel drama
  • 1970s - sci-fi parable
  • 1980s - cult film
  • 1990s - episodic comedy
  • 2000s - martial arts
  • 2010s - a film about 'the end'

Wait, will these films be any good?

Yes. Very yes. Check out what critics have to say about some of the films below:
