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.

The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”

But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost.

Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show’s questions. Intrigued by Jamal’s story, the jaded Police Inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out…

With wonderful photography of the Australian countryside, this Romantic epic film is set in northern Australia at the beginning of World War II, where an English aristocrat inherits a cattle station the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn stock-man to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country’s most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbour only months earlier.  A truly enjoyable film.
