 Themes of MusicFilms with much loved melodies and memorable rhythms, but which also remind us of the difficulties and dangers of stardom and global success. See the 7 films within our theme of music by clicking below on read more. Date Posted: 18/09/2019 |  Themes of the EnvironmentEcological sustainability is fast becoming the key concern of the 21st century and three of our films reflect this. Leonardo DiCaprio’s timely précis Before the Flood, deals with the complex concerns involved in global warming. Blue offers a beautiful hymn to the sea whilst warning us of the dangers of oceanic pollution, and The Biggest Little Farm portrays an uplifting story of an incredibly self-sustaining project in California.

 Themes of the SeaFilms that give prominence to the sea make up one of our four themes this year, four of these films can be seen at Durlston - a recently refurbished castle overlooking the sea on the Jurassic Coast. A more perfect venue would be harder to find. Take a look at the films relating to the sea by clicking on read more.

 FAMILY FILM TO OPEN THIS YEAR'S EVENTS BEFORE MAIN FEATUREWe are delighted to announce a special FILM PREVIEW (by kind courtesy of Parkland Pictures) of The Biggest Little Farm, to open our 23rd Purbeck Film Festival. Join us on our opening day, Saturday, 19 October 2019 at 6pm, for this wonderful, vibrant and compelling family-friendly documentary which is to screen before our evening feature at 8.30pm. We would like to extend our thanks to Lotek for sponsoring this event screening. Date Posted: 14/09/2019 |  F RATED FILMSThe BFI have produced research which shows that only 7% of the top 250 films in 2016 were directed by women. In terms of the roles of director, producer, writer, executive producer, cinematographer and editor, only 20% were women. 25% of all films had no women at all in any of these roles. These statistics describe an industry where the vast majority of those involved in cinematic story-telling are male and invariably white, middle-class and middle-aged. Date Posted: 07/09/2019 |
