A Message From Our Glorious Leader
The Next Meeting Of Cinephiles will take place at 7.30pm in the Watershed Cinema, Bristol on Monday 7th October.
Presenter, Brian Clay, comments: “It was great to welcome a number of new enthusiastic members at last month’s relaunch. The meeting chose three diverse titles for the October meet-up. Mark Jenkins’ remarkable new film ‘Bait’ has been extended for a fourth week at the Watershed and should give rise to a lively debate, for a start. The other British independent film, Joanna Hogg’s ‘The Souvenir’, couldn’t be more different and it will be interesting to hear members’ reactions. The third title ’The Farewell’ has attracted four-star ratings and is being screened this week so catch it while you can! Remember you don’t have to have seen all the titles selected – if you love film, you will be amongst friends! And don’t forget the new start time of 7.30pm – see you in Waterside One, through the bar.”
