This month marks ten years since Rainton Farm began keeping dairy calves with their mothers. To celebrate, we’re holding our first live online screening of A Dairy Story, followed by a Q&A with David Finlay.
The film starts at 6pm UK time on Thursday 19 November, and David will join us live as soon as it finishes, for as long as the conversation flows. Wherever you are, you can watch together with everyone else and ask him anything you’d like to know: about the farm, the herd, the film, or what’s happened since.
For future hosts, and for everyone
The watch party is especially for anyone thinking about hosting a community screening. It’s a chance to see how a screening runs and hear how other hosts are planning their evenings. It’s also an opportunity for us to test out the platform and learn how it works ourselves.
Everyone who books a ticket will receive a $20 discount code to use against a community screening licence, booked within a month of the watch party.
But you don’t need to be planning a screening to join us. If you’ve been waiting for a chance to see the film, or you’d like to see it again and hear from David, you’re very welcome.
Tickets
Tickets are $20, about £15. Our screening platform, Kinema, charges in US dollars, so your bank will convert the price for you. If you’d like to give a little more to help the film reach new people, you can choose to pay up to $50.
This is our first live event on Kinema. We’ve done a lot of research, and it’s the best way we’ve found to bring people together around the film wherever they are. But it’s new to us too, so thank you in advance for your patience if there are a few rough edges on the night.
Join us for a live online watch party, with a Q&A with David Finlay

What you told us
Audiences told us they left A Dairy Story feeling inspired. Over half were new to the cinema they saw it in, and nine in ten would go back.
