I'm interested in film (obviously not enough for this tough challenge [;)] ) and I'm extremely open-minded [:D] but I don't know what you are referring to...

Oh Ok :-0 I would like to set up a film club showing films that you don't normally see at the local multiplex except for the 2 weekly "ART" film nights usually at 11:30 pm on Friday nights.The Dogma films, Wim Wenders, Werner Herzog ,Nic Roeg to name a few..Its not something Id like to do on my own (and wouldn't be much fun either)but something to try and encourage people not to drink from the mainstream so much. The more people who become interested the better .I think my earlier posts may have been a bit misleading, well I hope this clears things up a bit. Ta.

It's a great idea Warren and I'd certainly become a member if you ever got it up and running.

Thanks Dennis, the challange is , is that it will involve time and money to set up though not huge ammounts of either ; for instance it will cost £150 to join the film bank and around £80 per film on a non theatrical license (that means a members only club showing).So we'd need a good showing to recoup the film cost and nobody wants to pay more than £5 to watch a film , which is fair.Then we need to think about Venue,Equipment + comfort and care for the valued members.Its no picnic but I see it as a great contribution to the Town and something postive to give to the people who live in, and around it.And also a great chance to meet likeminded people and enjoy their company before or after watching an interesting film.

Hello Pickle, Outside of the home environment all film screenings are classed as public events (even if unpublicised to club members, it is still public - grrr) and so require a licence, whether or not folks are being charged an entry fee. You need to find somebody with a big living room and big screen, ideally with a proven record in screening non-mainstream films in the past and better still with a piano so soft tinkly music can be jammed while choc ices are sold 'n' scoffed [;)] But you know all that already. It would involve some trust, but could you find a home to do the first few nights in? Then, when there are sufficient club members to hire a venue / equipment then licence the night accordingly. The concern is that you might spend a lotta cash and no sod turn up and you'll be completely snuffed out! Filmy snuff!!

Thats spot on Sally, of course in the summer months all youd need is a tent and a big garden or we could take an idea from Cinema Paradiso ...
