Oswestry film Society new venue

Dear Blogger

Message from James Bond, Oswestry Film Society, forwarded by Ingrid Knowles.

 

Help us keep cinema alive

After our emotional final screening at Kinokulture, let's celebrate together our first film at our new venue: The Hermon Chapel Arts Centre (pic 1).
OFS film night is now WEDNESDAYS, and we start this coming week with the classy Vantage Point (12A, pic 2).
If a full-time cinema is to return to Oswestry, the company will want to see that the town CAN support a film venue.

Films and new info

  • Vantage Point (12A) - Wed May 1, 7.30pm. Eight strangers witness an assassination attempt, but what did they actually see? Dennis Quaid (picture 2) has to work out what actually happened.
  • Slumdog Millionaire (15) - Wed May 15, 7.30pm. Breathtaking action, comedy and romance, with stunning Indian scenery, this is the ultimate feel-good film. 15th anniversary showing. Fantastic on the big screen.
  • Pride (15) - Wed June 5, 7.30pm. Truly uplifting British comedy-drama based on the extraordinary true story of London-based gay and lesbian activists supporting a struggling Welsh pit village in the Miners' Strike. We are showing this to mark the 40th anniversary of the strike, and to preview Oswestry's forthcoming first Pride festival.
  • Tickets should be available on the door, but it would help if you book in advance via the OFS website as we find our feet at our new venue.
  • The Hermon Chapel is just round the corner from Kinokulture, in (aptly enough) Chapel St close to the entrance to the Horsemarket car park.
  • Seating is currently unallocated, but we're working on that.
  • The Hermon is fully accessible, and has a licensed cafe-bar.
  • We're jointly aiming to screen extra films, if we see the demand is there.
  • PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD...
