THE CABIN

The Cabin was created in 2019 as a mini cinema/venue seating 7. A venue for film, performances, screenings, workshops, meetings and events...

The cabin can also support an outdoor screen, or projection booth for larger spaces. It is entirely self powered through batteries and a solar panel.

It's a long term project and we're interested in all ideas for it's use.

Chris Phipps 1949 - 2019

Chris Phipps will be a huge miss to the festival. He contributed to the programming, presented many many events and was a great supporter and mentor to the festival team. He was hugely driven by his enthusiasm of music, film and media and delivered his unique knowledge of these with great dedication, professionalism and warmth.

There are many more films Chris wanted to show at the festival and we will continue to programme them in in your memory. Thank you Chris!
