Let’s watch film together.

Our community screeners watch the films submitted to Heart of Gold in groups or as individuals, and are the backbone of what makes Heart of Gold special on the film festival scene - with the ratings and reviews of all screeners affecting each film’s chance of being accepted into the festival.

You can join a group that already exists in your area, start a new group, or go it alone as an individual. We also welcome enquiries from community groups and schools who would like to be part of the process.

If you are interested in joining our Community Screeners then we’d love to hear from you! It’s an important part of what makes our Festival shine and we welcome people from all walks of life to give insights and life experience to our film screening process.

Community Screening takes place over six months, generally from March to August.
