LIKE so many cultural activities during lockdown, Frome Film Club suspended their live audience screenings and moved online.
Calling it Season 9 ½, their online screenings ran from January to July this year with an eclectic range of films including Oscar winner, The Father. Now Frome Film Club are delighted to announce Season 10 and a return of a live audience programme for 2021-2022.
Sally Somers, who is one of the film programmers from the Frome Film Club committee said, “Everyone has missed the buzz congregating at the Merlin to watch films together on the big screen, and this marks a welcome return to normality for film lovers.”
Films are shown generally on the second Wednesday of every month at 8pm, membership costs £30 and buys you the whole season of 10 films. Handily membership is transferable – if you can’t make it on the night, you can pass your card to a friend – and members can make use of a dvd library of films from past seasons, or to catch up on any missed during the season. Frome Film Club membership is limited to just 200 members, so signing up early is recommended.
The first film of Season 10 is And Then We Danced, a beautiful Georgian story of dance and sexual identity in an ultra-conservative society, which will be screened at the Merlin on Wednesday 8 September.
