Cooke’s Cinema ran the first programme of film screenings held in the newly refurbished Cooke’s Studios in Barrow. The films ranged from quality classic to new, critically acclaimed independent films. Selected screenings were followed by informal talks by guest speakers after the screening for those who wanted to delve deeper into the filmmaking process – one particular highlight included a special guest appearance at the screening of The Wicker Man by the film’s director, Robin Hardy!
