A fitting film show in the Dales – The Yorkshire Post says
The Hinterlands Film Festival is one of many initiatives to promote the National Park as a place in which to enjoy culture, as well as the great outdoors. Its second outing in May has a bill of contemporary fare comparable with any of the urban festivals that every town and city now seems to accommodate.
But it is the resurrection of an earlier depiction of rural life that will pique the interest of many filmgoers.

Hide AdThe Farmer’s Wife, hoary melodrama though it may be, is one of the earliest works of Alfred Hitchcock. Neglected by his later audience, it has not been seen in such surroundings for nearly a century and its presentation by Hinterlands and the Yorkshire Silent Film Festival is both timely and uniquely becoming.
Let us hope it heralds a summer season on which we will all look back with as much fondness.
