A brand new film festival is coming to Nottingham this month, with events taking over venues across the city. 

The Light After Dark Film Festival is “dedicated to immersive experiences in cinema”, and is being delivered by local arts institutions including Nottingham Contemporary, Broadway Cinema and Nottingham Playhouse. 

Across three packed days of entertainment, the Festival will pair films with performance, music, technology and art to provide a completely unique cinematic experience for Notts cinephiles. 

Highlights from the weekend include a Broadway screening of the Fritz Lang classic Metropolis with a live score from Notts band 8mm Orchestra and a VR film noir experience at the Playhouse, as well as a roundtable at the University of Nottingham on cinema’s role as a medium for articulating dreams. 

This marks yet another exciting addition to Nottingham’s bustling Screen scene, joining the likes of the Nottingham International Film Festival and Mayhem on the city's festival circuit. 

The event is being supported by the BFI Film Audience Network, and tickets to individual events are now available on the Light After Dark website.
