And so begins the Blissfields Film Festival's third consecutive year as we re-open doors to the cine-cosmos, welcoming the magic of the silver screen into our tree-lined mini wilderness in the Hampshire countryside. Premiering in 2013, the Blissfields cinema Electric Dreams has been the home of the Blissfields Independent Film Festival, DocTent and late night movie screenings. It’s Blissfields’ own celebration of the big screen.
If you’re a budding film-maker or student director, get involved by submitting your film. The shortlist of the best films will be screened during Blissfields before expert judges decide their “Best In Show”.
As Blissfields enters the halfway point of its second decade it takes a weekend to look back over its 15-year history and more, and to gaze into the curious future of the universe, permitting your imagination to run free. We invite you, and all tourists from the future, to the ultimate journey in traveling across the ages with Blissfields 2015 – Somewhere In Time.
