YOUR FILM CLUB
“Will the cinema continue to exist?” asked a TV reporter interviewing a producer who had decided to issue his film through Netflix and not through the usual route of cinemas. We are the cinema generation. Before television, cinema was the big cultural revolution with t he Odeons and the Tivolis and the Gaumonts, and the queuing, and the back row, and the Saturday morning film clubs.
Watching a film from the sofa is nice but not the same as when the lights go down, particularly if you are with others who are keen to see the film. Many cinemas do offer matinees to people who are retired but many people still prefer going to the cinema in the evening.That is not always easy however if your mobility is limited or if the local cinema has closed or become a bingo hall, as many have, For this reason we are developing a film club where you can watch with others , perhaps members of your family who are hundreds of miles away, or a group of people who are fans of James Bond or Carry On who you have never met but who would like to share their views and opinions with you and other fans.
