Roundhay FilmFest

A date for the diary: from 6th-8th May, Churches Together in Roundhay are planning a weekend's Film Festival to take place in St Andrew's Church. The Festival will begin on the Friday evening with the popular film "Made in Dagenham", which tells the story of a strike by women sewing machinists against sexual discrimination. Then on the Saturday afternoon there will be a film for all ages - "Toy Story 3". On the Saturday evening we will be showing "Grow your Own" a delightful, moving and thought-provoking comedy that brings together the themes of asylum and allotments. The festival will finish on the Sunday afternoon with "Africa United" a story about a group of children travelling through Africa to the World Cup, which also deals with issues such as Aids.

After each film there will be the opportunity to enjoy ice cream and other refreshments and, if you wish, to mull over with your friends the issues in the film. The final film will be followed by African food, and then some worship with an African flavour.
Admission to the films will be on a donation, with any profits from the festival going to KOST a Kenyan charity that supports orphans.
