The following has been provided by parwich film:
Last night’s very well attended showing of St. Trinnian’s marked the end of our successful third Season (2007/2008).
We are now planning our 2008/09 Season. Up to now we have focused on mainstream block busters, but we are looking at a more varied programme next season, with possibly additional 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. We would particularly welcome input from teenagers and young adults, and would welcome any ideas how parwich film can support Project Parwich, for example you might be organising a fund raising event and would like to show a film or music videos as part of that event, or even just have photographs projected onto the screen.
Thank you to all that have supported us, to everyone that helps out with the film nights, and an especial thanks to the Memorial Hall Management Committee for setting up the group and providing our administration and accounting. We are a very good example of how new groups and new uses of the Memorial Hall can be promoted. Click here to find out more about parwich film

Parwich Film’s May Showing
Posted in Events, Films, Memorial hall on Tuesday April 22, 2008| Leave a Comment »
The infamous school for ‘young ladies’, St T…’s , is once again facing dire financial crisis. While unorthodox headmistress Camilla Fritton (Rupert Everett) struggles to deal with the new Education Minister Geoffrey Thwaites’ tireless advances and his unyielding objective to transform her chaotic environs into a ‘respectable’ ladies college, the responsibility for saving St T…’s from its creditors falls to the anarchic pupils. The fearless girls gather together a motley crew of teachers, associates, and the rest of the school’s ungovernable and uninhibited pranksters, who, using their wit, sass, determination and ingenuity attempt to pull off the heist of the century and save the school from impending bankruptcy. A RIOT! (more…)

This month’s showing at the cinema in the Memorial Hall was The Bourne Ultimatum. It was brilliant – fast action, with each camera shot barely lasting more than a couple of seconds. Jason Bourne took on the might of the secret “intelligence” service of the USA & totally confused & dumbfounded them. My personal opinion is that there is definitely another opening for a 4th film – he never died, did he?
Thank you to Martin & Arnold for their ongoing work & thanks to the tea ladies for the half time refreshments.
The next cinema showing – February 15th – 7.45

Book this date in your diary – it is the next cinema showing at the Memorial Hall. The film is about a fledgling writer Briony Tallis, as a 13-year-old, irrevocably changes the course of several lives when she accuses her older sister’s (Keira Knightley) lover (James McAvoy) of a crime he did not commit. Based on the British romance novel by Ian McEwan.
Remember February 15th – 7.45. Doors open at 7.30. Entrance Free
March 14th – This film looks at the relationship between Elizabeth I and the adventurer Sir Walter Raleigh (the sexy Clive Owen), it is Cate Blanchett’s fabulous sequel to her 1998 film portraying the early life of this great Queen.
