Next Film - Friday 11th October 2024
- COPA '71
- Directors: Rachel Ramsay, James Erskine
- Featuring: Elvira Aracen, Janice Barton, Brandi Chastain
- Language: English
- Running Time: 90 min
- Overview: This is the extraordinary story of the 1971 Women’s Soccer World Cup told by the pioneering women who took part in this tournament which saw record-breaking crowds and yet was erased from sporting history - until now. This film speaks to the international players in all the teams from COPA ‘71 now and it’s a joy to listen to their memories – particularly Britain’s engaging and funny Carol Wilson who, like so many, was badly treated afterwards by the mediocre menfolk. COPA ‘71 is a revolutionary political parable that goes beyond football. A different world is possible; not only that, a different world was not just possible but did in fact exist. But the narrative was erased. Well, it’s been restored by this bracing and thoroughly absorbing film.

November's Film 8th Nov 2024:
- Driving Madeleine
- Director: Christian Carion
- Featuring: Line Renaud, Dany Boon, Alice Isaaz
- Language: French with English subtitles
- Running Time: 91 min
- Overview: Line Renaud is a much-loved French singer and actor whose life spans most of the last century and amazingly, at 93 she takes the lead as a woman who is about to reluctantly move into an old age home. She takes a taxi ride which lasts most of the day, with Charles, a grumpy Paris cabbie as she takes a last look at the town she loves. They make a delightful couple, and Madeleine’s story has many twists and turns as they pass the various famous Parisian landmarks. She is a survivor, and her warmth is irresistible, thawing out the disconsolate Charles.
