September – December 2015

Dear Flicks Film Fans,Writing about the autumn season of films sitting here in the sunshine seems strange, but we all need something to look forward to once the nights start to draw in, and we have a great selection of films chosen by your local promoter which should entertain, move, and educate!

This season is unashamedly British to the core – we make good films here in the UK and we are pleased to celebrate the best of them this season.

Dark Horse: The Incredible True Story Of Dream Alliance has been well, a dark horse – the uplifting story of a Welsh mining village which has gone down a storm with audiences. “Funny and inspiring” says one of our promoters. Make sure you get to see it.

Great British period dramas such as A Little Chaos (Kate Winslet) and A Testament of Youth, home-grown comedies such as A Royal Night Out and Shaun the Sheep and some new twists on classic films such as Far From the Madding Crowd and Mr Holmes all make up our busy programme. If you want to see a real Enigma Machine catch up with The Imitation Game, as many of the screenings will have Dr Baldwin, a world renowned expert on WWII military intelligence, doing a short presentation before the film.

Some of our most loved national treasurers will be in The Second Best Marigold Hotel (Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Bill Nighy) and Helen Mirren is as brilliant as ever in The Woman in Gold.

But we at Flicks also want to bring you a taste of other cultures from around the world – Australia (Tracks), Japan (The Tale of The Princess Kaguya), Sweden (Force Majeure), France (Girlhood), and many others.

Finally, we continue our remembrance of the First World War, with a screening of the Battle of Britain, and our special Film Archive evening looking at some wartime films from Ledbury.

There are too many great films to mention here, so do go along to our website – and sign up for the email alert (we now have 3000 people on the list) which comes out once a week with details of screenings near you for that week.

Now, shall I get the barbecue out?

When the death of her sister leads to Altmann finding out that a portrait of her aunt painted by Gustav Klimt was stolen by the Nazis and now hangs in the Belvedere Palace in Vienna, she enlists the help of young lawyer Randy Schoenberg to reclaim her family’s losses.
