Unexpectedly large crowds, almost three times recent Film Society audiences, arrived to see the fairly obscure, subtitled Iranian film ‘About Elly’ that the society showed on their first night at the club. Those who watched the film enjoyed the comfort, quality of the HD projection and surround sound at the club. Film Society screenings are open to anyone, but to avoid disappointment at the door, places should be booked by emailing paddiecollyer@hotmail.com Entry to each screening is £5 which covers the costs of the Society’s screening license. The Society’s programme is available at www.facebook.com/VentnorFilmSociety

Ventnor Arts Club members’ film nights are on alternate Tuesdays between Society screenings,  free to members and their accompanied guests, places (but not specific seats) should be booked by emailing tracey@ventnorartsclub.com. Flms programmed will be included in members’ emails.

There will be other occasional screenings announced, some of which will be open to non members in association with local special interest groups.
