Programme for 2017

Everest (UK/Iceland/Italy/USA 2015) Cert 15, 121 mins, starring Jason Clarke, JakeGyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, Keira Knightley, Robin Wright, Director Baltasar Kormakur
Inspired by the incredible events surrounding an attempt to reach the summit of the world’s highest mountain, Everest documents the awe-inspiring journey of two different expeditions challenged beyond their limits by one of the fiercest snowstorms ever encountered by mankind. Their mettle tested by the harshest elements found on the planet, the climbers will face nearly impossible obstacles as a lifelong obsession becomes a breath-taking struggle for survival.
Saturday 4 February 2017 FREE screening; film starts at 5pm
Eddie the Eagle (UK, Germany, USA, 2016) Cert PG, 103 min, genre: drama, comedy
Director: Dexter Fletcher Cast: Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman, Tom Costello
Inspired by true events, Eddie the Eagle is a feel-good story about Michael "Eddie" Edwards (Taron Egerton), an unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself - even as an entire nation was counting him out. With the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach (played by Hugh Jackman), Eddie takes on the establishment and wins the hearts of sports fans around the world by making an improbable and historic showing at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. From producers of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Eddie the Eagle stars Taron Egerton as Eddie, the loveable underdog with a never say die attitude.
Saturday 4 March 2017
Addicted to Sheep (UK 2015) Cert PG, 86 mins, genre: Documentary, nature
In the North Pennines, tenant farmers Tom and Kay spend their days looking after their flock of prized sheep, and hoping that this will be the year they breed the perfect one. Director Magali Pettier, herself a farmer’s daughter, follows a year in their lives, capturing both the stark, stunning beauty of the landscape, and the brutally hard graft it takes just to survive. Their three children are growing up close to the land, attending a school entirely comprised of farmers’ children, thoroughly immersed in their remote rural world. As the seasons change the couple help birth, groom, nurture and sell their sheep – even when the odds often seems stacked against them. A treat for the senses, Addicted to Sheep allows us to experience life on a hill farm – without having to get mucked in ourselves.
Saturday 1 April 2017:
Glory (USA 1989), 15, 122 minutes, genre: drama, history; Edward Zwick director; cast: Denzel Wahington, Morgan Freeman, Mathew Broderick
Glory is the story of the fate of one of the first army units to be made up of black soldiers during their fight for freedom and dignity in the American Civil War. Colonel Robert Gould Shaw (Matthew Broderick) is tasked with recruiting men to the regiment, starting with gravedigger John Rawlins (Morgan Freeman) and slave escapee Silas Trip (Denzel Washington).
What follows is a stirring depiction of the struggles of the Civil War told through the eyes of the black recruits, from the harsh conditions within the unit to the racist threats of the Confederacy. Despite facing one of the most brutal onslaughts against the Confederates in Charlestown, they proved that black soldiers deserved to stand against their white counterparts.
The recruitment of black soldiers they inspired in all likelihood turned the tide of the war. A rare period film that does justice to black lives and their part in history, this moving and inspirational film will raise debate and make you rethink history.
Saturday 29 April 2017:
The Sound of Music (USA 1965), U, 174 mins, genre: musical drama, biography
Director Robert Wise; cast: Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer
The Sound of Music was one of the most exceptional films of its time: it tells the story of Maria, a novice nun at Nonnberg Abbey in Salzburg. The story begins in 1938 when she leaves the Abbey to become a governess for the seven children of the von Trapp family. She falls in love with their father, a widower and sea captain and they marry thereafter. Austria is annexed into the Third Reich, the Anschluss and the couple return early from honeymoon. Captain von Trapp is ordered to accept a commission in the German Navy. The von Trapps have no desire to live under the Third Reich and conspire to escape Austria.
The music and lyrics by Rodgers and Hammerstein have become legend; the film received 5 Academy awards. It has been repeatedly enjoyed on stage and screen for generations; if you haven’t yet seen it, a bit like the classic play The Mousetrap, now is the time to catch it!
