We are grateful for the continued support of the team here at Dunoon Burgh Hall and our partners at The Studio Cinema.  This year we are also delighted to join forces with Dunoon Community Development Trust to present some special screenings exploring climate action and with Cycling UK Dunoon Bothy to celebrate the joys of cycling.Pupils from Dunoon Grammar School Business & Technology classes will be taking on the challenge of organising and marketing special screenings for their primary school friends, as they do every year for DFF.  And our special finale screening of the festival weekend will be hosted by our friends at Uig Hall in Rashfield.

We love to bring varied and interesting films to our audiences here in Dunoon and we look forward to seeing you all at DFF23.

Certificates

Each film in the programme has a certificate from U (Universal) to 18 (over 18s only). It is a legal requirement to observe this certification. PG indicates Parental Guidance – PG films are not suitable for children under eight years of age. A 12A certificate requires that an adult accompanies children under 12.

Any film not already certificated by the British Board of Film Classification has been given a suggested certificate, which we will treat as legally binding.
