About the Festival

Friendship, First Loves, Rebellion!
1974; during a violent miners' strike in a quiet village a teenage artist meets a gorgeous new girl from London but their attempts to escape make him betray his family, community and best friends. With political protests and communities straining under a crumbling economy the 1970s setting is a perfect fit for today and it's an uplifting and soulful mix of 70s styles, romance, teenage rebellion and gritty social realism.
