A thoroughly moving and ultimately joyful documentary, A Bunch of Amateurs follows the members of Bradford Movie Makers, one of the oldest amateur filmmaking clubs in the world. Once a thriving community, these days the membership is dwindling and the group struggle to keep the wolf from the door, but it's group of ageing cinephiles’ attempt to save their beloved club.

We're screening this as part of The Great Watch Together, an extension of The Great Get Together, inspired by the late Jo Cox MP, and her message of unity. The Great Watch Together is about celebrating the power of cinema to bridge divides, unite communities and to bring people together.
‘Movies are,’ Roger Ebert said, ‘like a machine that generates empathy’. The Great Get Together is all about empathy; it’s about connecting with others who are different to ourselves and celebrating that we have, in Jo Cox’s words, More in Common than that which divides us.
