Earlier this year, it was announced the festival would be coming to Liverpool and now the venue has finally be revealed.
Newsham Park will host the event from Thursday, August 12 until Sunday, August 15.
Thursday evening will feature a 'short film showcase' highlighting the work of UK independent filmmakers. The showcase is different for each region, as it aims to highlight local creatives in each location.
The showcase will give watchers access to exclusive new movies, and £2 from every ticket will be given to local film organisations in the city.
Saturday and Sunday afternoons are reserved for family films, with premieres of The Lion King and The Greatest Showman on the line-up.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings will feature live comedy performances from a host of UK comedians, followed by screenings of some of the biggest blockbuster movies. Much-loved films such as Grease and Dirty Dancing are set to be featured.
Each day there will be street food available courtesy of Street Food Warehouse, and a designated bar serving beer and specially crafted cocktails.
Gates will open up to three hours prior to each film screening.
Tickets to Thursday's showcase start at £6, while tickets for the other days begin at £16.50. For afternoon screenings, children aged under 12 can enter for half price.
