Film is transformative, powerful and resonating. It can change the world in a matter of seconds. York’s very own BAFTA-Qualifying Aesthetica Film Festival has teamed up with York Theatre Royal to present a Season of Independent Film, which looks at how the big screen helps us to make sense of the past, present and future. We bring you films that look at the LGBTQ+ experience and the climate crisis, as well as an interrogation of humans and technology, and the best of Black British cinema, alongside our Comedy Club screenings and a slate of BAFTA and Oscar-winning short films from the Aesthetica Film Festival. Here is your chance to step away from the ordinary and immerse yourself in the power of storytelling through film.
