Peckham & Nunhead Free Film Festival returns with an exciting mix of free screening events (08 to 18 SEP 2022)

Lucky 13th! The 2022 Peckham & Nunhead Free Film Festival is back from 8 to 18 September offering a packed line up of free screenings in a variety of indoor and outdoor venues across SE15.

Submitted by Peckham & Nunhead Free Film Festival

This year’s festival opens with a brilliant double-bill at The Ivy House of George Miller’s Mad Max 2 aka The Road Warrior and Adrian Bennett’s documentary Archaeologist of the Wasteland about the filmmaker’s life-changing quest to discover whether cars from the movie were really buried underground after filming (08 SEP). The festival closes ten days later with a pair of family screenings: A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon and Jumanji (18 SEP).

Festival joint co-ordinator Ann Lazim had this to say about the programme:

“At a time when a lot of people are struggling financially, film festivals like ours are more important than ever. They provide free entertainment that appeals to a wide variety of people. Not only do our screenings bring community groups together, they’re also great fun. That’s why our local volunteers love getting involved.”

Fellow co-ordinator Neal Browne celebrated the dedicated volunteers who make everything possible:

“We’re thrilled to be back and welcoming new volunteers for our 13th year. We’re also very proud to have kept the Peckham & Nunhead Festival running continuously through the toughest pandemic years, even if that meant going mainly online in 2020. But nothing beats bringing everyone together in real life to share the film watching experience.”
