I spotted an article about kinikulture in the Shropshire Star this week and contacted the organisers of this great new venture, funded through the Shropshire Coujncil Market Town Revitalisation Programme. 

Oswestry Kinokulture Digital Cinema Projection System is due to be installed into the Attfield Theatre, at the back of the Guildhall, ready for the new year and will be bringing the latest cinema releases to Oswestry audiences in 2013

Over the festive season kinokulture cinema have a great selection of films programmed for December and we look forward to seeing you at these events.  And don`t forget, we now have a refreshments stand at our regular screenings selling a range of teas, fresh coffee, chocolate brownies, flapjacks and Tyrrells organis popcorn.

Kinokulture Cinema Film Screenings in December 2012

The Pirates In An Adventure With Scientists (U)

Saturday 15th December  1:00pm Matinee for Oswestry Christmas Festival

The Attfield Theatre, The Guildhall, Bailey Head




Aardman’s swashbuckling tale of high jinks on the high seas, The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists, is comic genius.

**** Fun packed entertainment for all the family.

Based on the books by Gideon Defoe The Pirates! is perfect family fare that has plenty of intelligent asides to counterbalance the
wacky and slapstick shenanigans.

The story is set on the tropical high seas and in the heart of Victorian London, where Queen Victoria herself has a starring role.
The movie takes giddy pleasure in making her out to be a nefarious no-goodnik who has plenty of secrets but the real star is
the Pirate Captain (a husky-sounding Hugh Grant) who's more interested in procuring cured pork for his ship's regular "Ham Nite" feasts
than plundering for valuable booty. This becomes kind of a problem when he enters the Pirate of the Year contest and finds himself up
against the stiff competition of Black Bellamy, Cutlass Liz, and Peg Leg Hastings, all of whom have oodles of jewels and doubloons to back
up their bids.

A Royal Affair (15) A Christmas Special

Saturday 22nd December 7:30pm

The Attfield Theatre, The Guildhall, Bailey Head




A young queen, who is married to an insane king, falls secretly in love with her physician - and together
they start a revolution that changes a nation forever. A ROYAL AFFAIR is the gripping tale of brave idealists
who risk everything in their pursuit of freedom for their people.

There'll have to be an extraordinary surge of great movies between now and the new year to knock A Royal Affair
out of my top 10 for 2012. - Mark Kermode


Chasing Ice (12A) - A Regional Film Premiere

Saturday 29th December 7:30pm

The Attfield Theatre, The Guildhall, Bailey Head




You’ve never seen images like this before… It deserves to be seen and felt on the big screen.
- Robert Redford

In the spring of 2005, acclaimed environmental photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment
for National Geographic: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth’s changing climate. Even with a scientific
upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change. But that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story
in human history and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very well-being at risk.

Winner of 20 awards at Film Festivals across the world Chasing Ice is the story of one man’s mission to change the tide of history
by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of his first trip to Iceland Balog conceived the boldest
expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, he began deploying revolutionary time-lapse
cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers.

Heart-in-your-throat breathtaking. Trust us: You want to watch this film on the big screen.
- Nora Ankrum, The Austin Chronicle

A big screen phenomenon…Do NOT miss it. - Sandy Cannon-Brown, Women in Film and Video

Shrewsbury Market - Meet Nevis & Tom

PAWS FOR THOUGHT AT
SHREWSBURY MARKET HALL
Friday 14th December
 

 

People visiting Shrewsbury Market Hall later this month are being asked to ‘paws’ for thought as part of a fundraising and awareness event for the Hearing Dogs for Deaf People charity which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. 

 

Tom and Nevis will also be walking around the Market Hall throughout the day, chatting to customers to raise awareness of the charity which trains hearing dogs to alert deaf people to household sounds and danger signals providing a life-changing level of independence, confidence and companionship.   Tom and Nevis have been named winner of the Desmond Wilcox volunteer of the year award at the recent Specsavers Hearing Dog Awards.

 

He said: "Ever since I was lucky enough to take Nevis home with me, he has changed my life in so many ways. He gives me confidence when in noisy situations by staying calm. He has been my rock for the last eight years and has been my constant companion for that time.

 

Tom and Nevis are available to give talks and make appearances in their aim to promote the Hearing Dogs charity.   For more information about Hearing Dogs for Deaf People visit www.hearingdogs.org.uk
