Anyone that knows of our cinema a quick heads up - tonight's All Creatures Great and Small features the cinema in part.
Bev and I have been involved with the cinema for over 25yrs, it's been entirely volunteer run since '95 - hardly any grants, no local or arts funding of consequence just a hardy band of 50-70 volunteers that allow us to open 7 days a week as a straight forward cinema.
We were closed under COVID until recently so in the summer the production crew had free range to make over the place (and adjacent shops) and give it the late 30s vibe they needed - no plot spoiler. The extent they went to was amazing, changing door locks as yale no good for time and someone had to open up. The fogging machine to recreate the smoking atmosphere upset the fire alarm. The seats we'd just installed had to put back as 'old'. Several days work and several afterwards by them to repaint back to original the shops and parts of cinema...and how long will it be on screen for tonight?
CH 9pm tonight
