A BUNCH OF AMATEURS
Out in UK cinemas:
A BUNCH OF AMATEURS.
Very watchable documentary about Bradford Movie Makers, one of the UK's last surviving amateur film clubs, many of which are going under, as they struggle to make ends meet. Time well spent with Yorkshire folk young and old as they pursue their passion for filmmaking.
The last reel in which they confront the challenges of 2020 pandemic lockdown is particularly engaging: so many movies want to pretend that didn't happen and documentaries, particularly those dealing with that particular time period, are in a unique position to explore this.
