Enticing Autumn Film Evenings by the Big Screen

The Village’s Community Centre is delighted to announce a return to a full autumn programme of movies and “live” screenings at the Centre.

Highlights of the special screenings feature Mick Fleetwood with a stella line up of his friends filmed live at the London Palladium last year, Cliff Richard’s The Great 80 Tour from the Royal Albert Hall, Handa Opera’s magnificent La Traviata from the water stage in Sydney Harbour and of course the Royal Ballet’s perennial Christmas favourite The Nutcracker from the Royal Opera House. Into the mix goes Concerto – A Beethoven Journey which follows concert pianist’s Leif Ove Andsnes’ epic interpretation of the Master’s five piano concerti, Northern Ballet’s bodice-ripping retelling of Dangerous Liaisons set to music by Vivaldi and a visit to the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam’s extraordinary exhibition of the five publicly-owned paintings of Sunflowers. The screenings programme is completed with a requested encore of the award winning movie of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, a bold new interpretation of Romeo & Juliet filmed in seventeen days on a single stage in a pandemically emptied National Theatre and the first visit of the awe inspiring and uplifting Cirque du Soleil with its fabulous Worlds Away seamlessly combining daring acrobatics and intense artistry into a simple yet emotionally rich story.

The movies programme kicks off with the Oscar winning Nomadland with Frances McDormand’s wonderful portrayal of a cheerful, resourceful middle aged woman who has lost everything; puppy Bella a lost but high spirited and friendly animal who has to find A Dog’s Way Home; a biography of Audrey Hepburn who faced a life-long battle with the traumas of her past to become one of the world’s greatest cultural icons; A United Kingdom which tells a romantic true story of interracial marrying from our dowdy post-war past with terrific warmth and idealism; a gentle, sweet, funny story of love in later life realised over 23 Walks, an enchanting film about a Korean family making a new start in rural 80s Arkansas Minari; and concluding with Sheila Hancock’s Edie who turns her back on her family sending her to a care home to climb the remote imposing Mount Suilven in the far north of Scotland.

All the movies and screenings are in the Centre, with 60 comfortable seats arranged cabaret style around small tables – this makes sure everyone has a good view and a place to put their drinks. 

Book early to avoid disappointment – sadly seats cannot be guaranteed if you just turn up on the door.
