A Bunch of Amateurs

Year
2022
Country
UK
Duration
95’
Director
Kim Hopkins

The most quintessentially British working-class filmmaking club, the Bradford Movie Makers’ members grow old amid flickering memories and the brutal reckoning of their final years.

Desperately clinging to their dreams and to each other, fueled by endless cups of tea, this quietly hilarious, profoundly moving portrait of shared artistic folly speaks to the delusional escapist dreamer in us all, and to the need to spend time together face to face in an increasingly lonely, digital age.
