Join for us for a celebration of grass roots film-making with a curated selection of short films from previous editions of the Coventry Phoenix Film Festival. 

Explore the theme of care through cinema - how we care for ourselves, each other, and how people experience systems of care - and hear from a panel of local film-makers.

Join us from 7pm in our Cosy Corner (by Screen 3) for pre-event networking.
