Online Community Film Festival 2026 – Week 1

An online film festival celebrating the arts and community within Bridport and West Dorset as captured on film by local filmmakers. Each Friday in January we shall be releasing a new short film about one of Bridport Arts Centre’s inspiring peers and partners to this online festival website.

Our first film celebrates some of the work of The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares who deliver creative writing workshops for children aged between 7 and 18 in West Dorset. In the film, The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares team up with Mountjoy School for National ‘Kids in Museums’ Takeover Day at Bridport Museum. Together, they explore local history through interaction and imagination– turning artefacts into stories and the museum into a playful space for creative expression.
