Meet the Makers: Exclusive Guest Screenings
News
Wolfie

It’s not just a film…
…it’s a conversation that continues after the credits roll.

A guest screening means you get to meet the creators and hear stories that never make it to the screen, asking questions in a Q&A that would otherwise remain unanswered. It’s the moment when the cinema comes alive and the film gains a real face. Encounters like these add a new layer to the story — a thought or choice left unspoken in the film may only reveal itself in conversation with the filmmakers.
A guest screening is not an ordinary cinema experience; it’s a chance to hear directly from the author or actor and to be part of something that will never be repeated in the same way again. When you buy a ticket to a guest screening, you take home far more than just a memory of a ticket and popcorn.
