Still from Evol by Chris VinzceVenue: Furness & Midland Hall, Carnforth Station. Starts 7:35pm

FREE ADMISSION

A selection of international short films with an air of romance, screened in the ideal surroundings of Carnforth Station, where scenes from the classic film Brief Encounters - one of the UK's greatest romances - were filmed.

Hosted by folly, in association with We Make Media, the evening will include everything from light-hearted comedies to poignant tear-jerkers: there will be something for everyone, with films from the UK and abroad.

And you don't have to come as a couple! It's open to all, and what's more the night is free. 

Stories include the shy woman in the British Library who spells out her declarations of love in book titles in "Rare Books and Manuscripts", a French actress who practices her lines with a stranger in a cafe in "On S'Embrasse", the experimental "Evol", the tale of the cleaner and the security guard, and, of course "Industrial Love Dwarf No. 7".

For Lancastrians wishing to attend, the train from Lancaster arrives at the station just after half past 7, and there are buses or a train back to Lancaster after the show.
