parwich film‘s 2009/10 season got off to a good start last night with the film The Young Victoria. Some thirty people came along, quieting our worries that a change of venue would adversely affect numbers. As Jane pointed out in her comment the film’s visuals fitted particularly well with the Victorian architecture of St Peter’s.
The projector worked well in the Church and the slightly smaller screen did not impair the visual impact of the film. The sound quality was not perfect, but raising up the speakers on tables at the interval was a great improvement. Hopefully this will sorted for our next regular film night.
Certainly sound quality will not be an issue for the next showing, which is a special one-off fund-raiser for the Church (Sat 14th November, apologies for confusion over the date in previous notices). It is the silent film ‘Gold Rush’ starring Charlie Chaplin, and it will be accompanied by live organ music played by the Rev Christopher Harrison.
There will be no regular film night in November, with the next Friday night showing to be in December (date to be announced later). Do let us know what films you would like to see this season, though it should be pointed out that the Exorcist and the Omen have already been suggested, and rejected.
