Anora was the film chosen by our members last night. Every August our members can choose from a selection of award winning films and attend for free. Anora won five Academy Awards and was applauded for its raw authenticity. None the less a bit of a marmite film and definitely more “sweary” then most of our films. Despite some reservations, we had an audience of 92 and a positive rating of 74%.

One member summed it up for many who attended with the following “I was amazed I enjoyed Anora last night after being totally turned off by the trailer. Enjoyed some belly laughs as well as being totally bound up with the intensity of the unfolding of the story. But for me, this is the beauty of the film society, that it opens me up to some great cinematic experiences that I would have missed. Thank you WFS”

So, last night we showed "Sentimental Value", a Norwegian, subtitled film. A starring role was played by Stellan Skarsgard, remembered by some last night for Mama Mia! The cast overall were excellent and the dynamics as the two sisters, estranged from their father, navigated their complicated relationship within the context of his come-back film. At times funny, but also tense and sad.

Audience reaction was mixed with a score of 69%.

The next screening on 6th August is Anora, a 2025 Oscar Winner. This is our Members Choice film and is free to all members.

We had a good audience reaction of 84% last night to the screening of "The Life of Chuck." A story told in 3 parts of the life of Charles Krantz [Chuck]; it explored the idea that an individual is an entire universe and on their death, their vast internal world of memories and experiences dies with them. It was a charming, beautifully scripted film and who would have guessed Tom Middleston could dance like that!

We didn't taken the decision to show The Voice of Hind Rajab lightly, we knew it would be a hard film to watch. A drama centred around the real life recording of a child trapped in a car and under IDF fire in Gaza, pleading for help from the Red Crescent volunteers, was profoundly disturbing. The distress of Hind Rajab and the volunteers who tried desperately to save her over several hours was heartbreaking.
At the end of the film there was a stunned silence, with most people staying to watch the closing credits and to process what they had seen. However hard it was to watch, almost all of the audience felt that it was an important film to have been screened and to know that by this film Hind Rajab's voice was heard.

Come along on Thursday (21 May) for a screening of the stunning drama The Voice of Hind Rajab🎬

This Oscar and BAFTA nominated film, tells the emotional story of Red Crescent volunteers who receive an emergency call from a 6-year-old girl trapped in a car under IDF fire in Gaza, pleading for rescue. While trying to keep her on the line, they do everything they can to get an ambulance to her.

Described as essential viewing and profoundly moving, this is a film not to be missed.
