Watch online and support yourt local cinema: The new online element, presented via Modern Films’ virtual screening platform complements the 'live' screenings. Cinemas book the film as though it were playing in their venues and rental income is shared, allowing ShAFF to continue to work closely with cinemas who are unable to screen the programme in their auditoria.

On Demand Archive

Although we love to get something for nothing, paid-for content will really help support filmmakers. Adventure films are usually made by small independent production companies who are currently unable to work, but the great news is that you can invite adventure into your own home for less than the cost of a coffee and cake, or a couple of pints.
