Forest Row Film Society

We had a mail yesterday from the BFFS asking for pictures of our venue. So, since we had a film today it was an ideal opportunity to take some photos before it got too busy. First off is the village hall itself; this was actually taken over two years ago. You can just see the posters for I don’t want to talk about it:

Now, here is inside the hall. This afternoon’s screening was of Into the West. This also illustrates that, if we are going to make matinees a more frequent occurrence we are going to need to get blackout blinds.

And finally, now that we have our new equipment, we have a portable screen and sound system, which are illustrated in an earlier post when we had a screening at Kidbrooke mansion.

Thanks to everyone who came to see us yesterday at the community centre. It was a reasonably busy event hosted by local MP Charles Hendry, with over thirty local organisations represented and showing off our wares. It highlighted the enormous range and diversity of activities in Forest Row, even though there were numerous groups and organisations who weren’t there.

We added quite a few more names to our email list and received several suggestions for films for next year. There was also quite a bit of interest in our next film, Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis. We took along our Heart of the Community award 2007, and had several enquiries from other organisations about our fundraising efforts too.

Thanks to Mike Grenville for the picture.

Forest Row Film Society now have a Twitter account. Follow us on http://twitter.com/forestrowfilms.

If you are already using Twitter, you can now get reminders and other film-related updates from us direct to whatever device you’re using.

We have created two widgets that you can insert into your blog or elsewhere that give you some film information that is (we hope) useful and interesting.

1. A listing of the independent and film society screenings in Sussex and nearby; this is the same information that is on our Film in Sussex page.
2. Some annotated links about film; these could be places to buy obscure DVDs, film festival sites, magazines, or anything that caught our attention.

You can add these to your site using the Get Widget link on them, and then simply copy the code and paste it in.
