Film Festival Trailer...
We are delighted to present our Festival trailer by Keith Lawes. Keith is a local film maker who has already achieved considerable success with his first two animated shorts, Blind Date and Jab. Both of these were premiered at the PFF, and then went on to screen at other lesser festivals such as Edinburgh, London and Seattle. Blind Date has even been shown with live Wurlitzer accompaniment at venues in the US and Australia.
Enjoy the trailer (you might have to click on it twice to make it run on some computers) and check back soon for news of the 2008 programme. We hope to have tickets on sale on-line in September - you can make sure you find out when by subscribing to our email newsletter...
“You’ll believe a Sandbanks Ferry can fly!”
You can catch Keith’s first film, Blind Date, on YouTube . His second film, Jab, will be screened as a support film to the Corfe Village Hall showing during the Festival.

On-line Ticketing now closed...
With only 3 hours before the closing film of this year's Festival, now seems as good a time as any to close up shop... We hope this won't disappoint too many last minute shoppers, but the on-line ticketing is now switched off until we need it again.
Watch this space - and keep an eye on the newsletter - for the opportunity to buy tickets on-line for 'out of festival' events throughout 2008 and 2009.
We want to make this site as easy to use as possible, so any comments on the on-line sales process would be very welcome at

Swanage Sailing Club
Another packed house at the Sailing Club to watch the movie 'Riddle of the Sands'. Chris Haw, a Sailing Club member, spoke for a few minutes as he had once owned the boat that features in the film. There was a bit of technical detail but it generally seems that although he was seduced by the beauty of the boat (a converted lifeboat), he found it leaked, sailed badly up wind and it ran aground in Swanage Bay and he was relieved to sell it on - ironically to some Germans. However, in the film and under full sail the "Dulcibella" looked magnificent even though it came to a sticky watery end.
