This week we have begun to see the results of our new, extended activities. A good discussion ensued after Our Seeds, which we screened with Transition Forest Row. Then, dressing up and dancing was in evidence during The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which is not normally the case when we show films:

On Friday it was the first outing of our new portable screen, and we transformed the Long Room at Michael Hall into a cinema to watch Francois Ozon’s 8 Women. It is a lovely cosy space for film:

Finally, the screen and projector moved over to the theatre where it was used to support the Jupiter Chamber Orchestra concert by displaying artwork inspired by Richard Strauss’ Don Quixote.

The more we use the new equipment, the more we are getting new ideas for other projects and screenings. Do let us know if you have any thoughts.
