He soon meets Oliver, a handsome doctoral student working as an intern for Elio’s father.  A coming-of-age love story unfolds in this ravishingly beautiful movie, a summer romance saturated with poetic languor and a deeply sophisticated sensuality.  (Read more…)

Three Palestinian women live together in the Yemenite section of Tel Aviv.  Each very different, they soon enough discover that what divides them – sexual orientation, religion, religiosity – is less significant than what unites them.  Each in her own way is struggling against a man who would like to stifle her voice.  Hamoud called her film “an authentic picture of a kind of invisible life that we live here as a younger generation of Palestinians”.  (Read more…)

Our Next Presentation: Lady Bird

THE CRAMPHORN THEATRE, CHELMSFORD – Monday 8th October @ 8PM

-2400Days -5Hours -25Minutes -45Seconds

All the ingredients of a traditional American teen coming-of-age film are here, a la John Hughes (Pretty In Pink, 1986), but the young Gerwig looks past the surface to the depths of her characters and explores the inner lives of girls and women, particularly the relationship between mother and daughter.  Oscar nominated, this is a joyous, uplifting narrative about a teenager on the cusp of change.  (Read more…) 

AGM

Before the screening of Lady Bird, we will be holding a brief AGM, including the formal Election of Officers.  The position of Vice Chairman is currently vacant, if anyone is interested in assuming this role.  Additionally, we have a few vacancies on the Selection Committee – this is not an onerous undertaking, most discussions are via email and we meet once or twice each year to select the films for the following season and discuss the running of the club.

The Agenda for the AGM can be downloaded here:
