In 2024 we celebrated 75 years of screening the best films from home and abroad, in Stafford.

For our new Spring 2026 season we have a mixture of excellent films, both English and foreign language.

The season opens tonight wìth "One Battle After Another".
May I ask a big favour? One of the SFT committee lives in Stone. The last bus home leaves the Gatehouse 40 minutes before the end of the film. Is some kind person able to offer a lift? Thanks.

Our Spring Season began on 3 March with 'The Choral', starring Ralph Fiennes. It continues next week (10 March) with 'H is for Hawk', with Claire Foy's award-winning star performance, and Brendan Gleeson playing the father. The Season features our usual mix of recent/new English- and foreign-language films across a range of genres, all of which have received good critical reviews. Several of those have been up for BAFTAs and/or Oscars, notably 'Hamnet', and 'I Swear', but also international hits including 'Sentimental Value' (Norway), 'No Other Choice', (S Korea) and 'The President's Cake' (Iraq). Do come and support SFT by seeing them with us on Tuesday evenings at the Gatehouse.

The Spring Season PDF leaflet* is available on the SFT website www.filmsinstafford.com with links to film trailers and more info; also details of SFT memberships, which offer reduced costs across a season or half-season. *note: do pick up a printed copy of the new Spring Season programme on Tuesday or when you come to the Gatehouse.

As well as our pages, SFT information is posted and updated on Bluesky, go to: .bsky.social
Do join us on this and future Tuesday evenings to share the experience of seeing these highly-rated movies on the big screen.

Best wishes from your SFT Committee
