Next Showing
Friday 12th June 2009
Previously we focused on mainstream block busters, but now we are introducing a more varied programme. We have started a monthly alternative film night for forgeign language films in addition the mainstream showings. There is also the possibility of further variety with potentially showings for children, young adults and minority interests. Do let us know what you would like to see, either by putting comments below, or by speaking to Arnold, Martin or Peter or by emailing us on martin@orchidserve.com.

Our regular Film Nights are held at the Memorial Hall (usually, but not always, on the second Friday of the month); all are welcome, admission is free; there are a raffle and refreshments at each showing; and headphones are available on request.

Old 9mm film request
If you have any old cine film or old video of Alsop, Ballidon, Parwich or Pikehall we would love to here from you. We are trying to find out what exists and, if not done already, get it transferred to DVD, so we can show some as part of our film nights.
Alternative Films?
We have been discussing the idea of a second film night in the month showing less comercial films. This could include classics of the cinema, foreign language films or art films. Do let us know what you think, whether you would want to attend, or what you might like to see?

The parwich film pages were updated on 21/5/09
This page has the following sub pages.
Can I recommend three films for the Parwich Film which I think will be very enjoyable.
1) ‘As It is in Heaven’. Director, Kay Pollak, 2004. this is a brilliant Swedish film with subtitles about an international music conductor who returns anonymously to his boyhood home. This film has been running in various cinemas in Australia for 18 months continuously. Its that good!
2) ‘Gloomy Sunday’. Director Rolf Schubel, 1999. This is a war/love story set in Budapest in the 1930s. Its German with subtitles, and again, its brilliant. The Christchurch New Zealand Arts Centre has been running this film continuously for over seven years! Its that good!
3) ‘La Vie en Rose’. Director Olivier Dahan, 2007. This is the biopic of Edith Piaf. A beautifully made film that just won the leading actress an Oscar which was thoroughly deserved. French with subtitles.
