Watch UK Trailer For a Bunch Of Amateurs Documentary
One of Britain’s oldest film clubs takes centre stage in profoundly moving documentary A Bunch Of Amateurs. Republic Film Distribution have sent us the UK Trailer, a moving tribute of flickering memories.
Kim Hopkins directs and produces this one. Her film won the Audience Award at this years’ Sheffield Doc Fest. All about Britain’s oldest amateur film clubs, Bradford Movie Makers. A working class club with members with dreams and escapism, most of all old friends trying to survive the digital age.
In a time we should support each other, this film celebrates the power of a community. Sharing a love for film which we all here also share a passion for!
Members of a quintessentially British working-class amateur filmmaking club, ‘BRADFORD MOVIE MAKERS’ grow old together amid flickering memories and challenging final years. Clinging to their dreams, and to each other, fuelled by endless cups of tea, this gently comedic, profoundly moving portrait of shared artistic folly speaks to the escapist dreamer in us all and to the enduring power of face-to-face time together, in an increasingly lonely, digital age.
Kim Hopkins directs and produces under her Labor of Love Films banner, alongside co-founder Margareta Szabo (Hotel Folly, Voices of The Sea) and The BFI Doc Society Fund. Simon Beaufoy executive produces alongside Lisa Marie Russo, Caroline Cooper Charles, Megan Gelstein and Capella Fahoome.
A Bunch Of Amateurs will get a UK and Irish cinemas from 11th November. Special previews will take on 2nd November at the BFI Southbank (London) with a homecoming premiere on 10th November at the National Science and Media Museum (Bradford) with Kim Hopkins and members of the Bradford Movie Makers in attendance.
