2008-2009 Long List
This provides a list of films that we are considering for future screening. Please let us know your preferences.
We will almost certainly have the new digital projection equipment in place by next season, but intend to programme next season with a mixture of 16mm and digital films. Furthermore, since many of the 16mm titles are not available on DVD at all, it is important to include them in our programmes in future for as long as they are available, especially if we can buy a new, larger screen for these films.
Digital
