Nandor Fodor and The Talking Mongoose
Running time: 96 mins
Join us for the Opening Night of Penistone Film Festival 2026 with a special screening of Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose, presented with the support of Signature Entertainment. Set in 1935 and filmed in Yorkshire, this intriguing mystery stars Simon Pegg, Minnie Driver and Christopher Lloyd. Based on a remarkable true story, the film follows renowned paranormal psychologist Dr Nandor Fodor as he investigates a family’s extraordinary claim of a talking animal. As the case unfolds, hidden motives emerge and everyone becomes a suspect in the search for the truth. This stand alone opening event offers a welcoming introduction to the festival weekend. Enjoy the opportunity to meet fellow film lovers, creatives and festival guests, with informal networking before and after the screening inside the historic Art Deco surroundings of the Penistone Paramount. The screening will also feature an exclusive Q&A with Hollywood director Adam Sigal, who is also our ‘Best Picture Judge’ for Penistone Film Festival 2026. Free tickets are available for carers and for some disabled or low income guests. Please contact the Paramount box office for further information.
