About the Film
The Bradford Movie Makers have seen every session of Britain’s oldest amateur film club, in sickness and in health. But as its members grow old and the interest of the younger folks dwindle, reminiscing only gets them so far. Desperately clinging to their dreams, and to each other, fueled by endless cups of tea, this quietly hilarious, profoundly moving portrait of shared artistic folly speaks to the delusional escapist dreamer in us all and to the need to spend time together face to face in an increasingly lonely, digital age. 

Kim HOPKINS brings the story of the Bradford Movie Makers to life with a flawless mix of wholesomeness and sharp wit. In A Bunch of Amateurs, the undying devotion of the Bradford Movie Makers is perfectly juxtaposed to their deadpan humour, as they remind us of the need for us to spend time together, face-to-face, in our increasingly lonely, digital world.
