Bracknell Film Society Based in Bracknell, Bracknell Film Society is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run film society. Our screenings are open to members and non-members.

Bracknell Film Society is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run film society set up to encourage interest in film as an art form, and to promote the study and appreciation of films. We screen on the second Tuesday of every month at the South Hill Park cinema, often adding a further film later in the month. We show interesting and unusual features, documentaries, shorts and classics not readily available in the local area and we meet in the bar afterwards to talk about the film and cinema generally. We run a Film Society Study Group that meets monthly.

A beautiful, bittersweet study of a teenage boy finding his way in life – LITTLE WHITE LIES

Directed by Robin Campillo & Laurent Cantet | Drama | 102 mins | France | 2025 | French with English subtitles

Eloy Pohu, Perfrancesco Favino, Maksym Slivinski

Enzo, a teenager from a wealthy family, rejects his class expectations by dropping out of school and apprenticing as a builder. Feeling increasingly disconnected from his peers and clashing with his father over his decisions, he finds himself drawn to fellow builder Vlad, who is from Ukraine and struggling with his own issues.

Set during high summer, the film is exceptionally atmospheric and tactile in its evocation of the Midi as a place of both pampered leisure and gruelling work – SCREEN DAILY

Ish (15) at South Hill Park
Tue 3 Nov | South Hill Park Cinema

Perretta’s impressive first feature is an intoxicating mix of weighty themes, unexpected beauty and teen euphoria, coalescing into a film that has a lot to say that you’ll want to savour - EMPIRE

Directed by Imran Perretta | Drama | 87 mins | UK/USA | 2025

12-year old best friends living in Luton (played by non-professional actors, themselves friends since childhood) are trying to enjoy their summer, but after an upsetting police stop and search, struggle to retain their friendship. As the ripples take hold, the boys try to make sense of the men they are becoming – and how “letting go” can be the hardest part of growing up.

A poignant and poetic urban pastoral about young masculinity, Muslim and south Asian communities, and the seedy and insidious new petty harassment of racial profiling and facial recognition tech - GUARDIAN

Familiar Touch (12) at South Hill Park

Tue 13 Oct | South Hill Park Cinema @ 7:30pm

A precise, funny and acutely moving portrait of a woman adjusting to assisted living - VARIETY

Directed by Sarah Friedland | Drama | 92 mins | USA | 2025

Kathleen Chalfant, Carolyn Michelle Smith, Andy McQueen.

A retired cook, Ruth prepares food in her kitchen. It’s a dish she’s made many times before, but puzzling errors now punctuate her routine. When her son arrives, she mistakes him for a suitor and when their “date” takes them to an assisted living facility, Ruth feels certain she doesn’t belong. Surrounded by caregivers, she must come to terms with daily routines, moment-to-moment negotiations and a changing self-identity.

There’s a profound tenderness in Sarah Friedland’s affecting first feature and a rare empathy: crucially, we observe Ruth’s experiences predominantly through her own eyes rather than those around her. It’s a decision that affords her a degree of respect, which is all too frequently missing when it comes to depictions of the elderly – Wendy Ide, SCREEN DAILY

Alongside Shunsuke, the actor’s only son, he decides to dedicate himself to this traditional form of theatre.

One of them will become the greatest Japanese master of the art of Kabuki.

It always gives you enough without over-explaining. I felt entirely immersed in a world I had known little about – Deborah Ross, THE SPECTATOR
