Mystery Sci-Fi Film Screening at Customs House
TICKETED EVENT
This August, the Folkestone Film Festival invites you to a one-night-only mystery movie screening by the sea!
We’re keeping the title strictly under wraps until the projector whirrs to life, but we can tell you this: we’re travelling back to the early 1960s for a deliciously campy, brilliantly hokey sci-fi classic.
Dive into the unknown and expect (unintentional) monster-sized laughs, wooden acting and a nautical nightmare of a plot. Customs House is an unusual space that has never hosted a film screening before, making it the perfect venue to experience this vintage B-movie gem.
It’s a night for movie lovers with a soft spot for crap special effects and cult films. Bring your friends and get ready for a delightfully bizarre night of pop-up cinema.
See you there... if you dare!
Thursday 6 August 2026
Doors open 6.30pm
Customs House, Folkestone Harbour, CT20 1QH
Tickets now available at the FFF website:
http://folkestonefilmfest.co.uk
Your ticket includes a soft drink to calm your nerves before the mystery unfolds. Plus, free popcorn!
