Venue: Furness & Midland Hall, Carnforth Station.
Starts 7:35pm – FREE ADMISSION
We’re presenting a selection of international short films with an air of romance, screened in the ideal surroundings of Carnforth Station, where scenes from the classic film Brief Encounters – one of the UK’s greatest romances – were filmed.
We’re hosting this evening of films in association with folly and the evening will include everything from light-hearted comedies to poignant tear-jerkers: there will be something for everyone, with films from the UK and abroad.
And you don’t have to come as a couple! It’s open to all, and what’s more the night is free.
Stories include the shy woman in the British Library who spells out her declarations of love in book titles in Rare Books and Manuscripts, a French actress who practices her lines with a stranger in a cafe in On S’Embrasse, the experimental Evol, the tale of the cleaner and the security guard, and, of course Industrial Love Dwarf No. 7.
For Lancastrians wishing to attend, the train from Lancaster arrives at the station just after half past 7, and there are buses or a train back to Lancaster after the show.
This event is sponsored by Signposts with funding from the Carnforth Area Regeneration Project and the Market Towns Initiative, and is supported by the Carnforth Station Trust.
We’re pleased to be working In partnership with Future Shorts, Dazzle Films and Rubberductions, all of whom are providing us with a world-class programme of films.

Pocket Movie-Making Workshop
Saturday 2nd February 2008, 10:30am – 3:30pm.
Venue: Furness & Midland Hall, Carnforth Station
Throughout 2007 we worked in collaboration with folly to deliver a series of free pocket movie-making workshops at Carnforth Station. Last Halloween we embarked on something a little bit different. Working from an original script by North West writer Steve Jansen, workshop participants worked together to create something ghoulish out of the digital ether that casts a new light on the after-life – see the results on our Films page.
This February’s movie-making workshop will follow the same format with a romantic theme and the finished film will receive its premiere at The Valentine Short Film Night at Furness & Midland Hall, Carnforth Station on Thurs 14th Feb, 7:30pm. An original script, written especially for the workshop, will allow participants to learn some hands-on movie-making skills such as: how to breakdown the script into shots, how to find locations, how to draw up shot lists and put basic camera skills into practice.
Whatever your experience or skills, whether you’re interested in being in-front or behind the camera, come along and get involved with a fun and exciting workshop – no experience is necessary. Places are free, but you need to book ahead by calling folly on 01524 388 550 or email enquiries@folly.co.uk.
