Films for 2009-10 season
Forest Row Film Society is pleased to announce the films for next season. There will be 21 screenings, which means that it will be our biggest season ever. Thanks to everyone who has given us ideas and suggestions, and who gave us your opinions on the short list. We still need to confirm availability with the distributors, but it is now very unlikely that the final list will differ much from this.
Enjoy the summer. Let us know what good films you see, and don’t forget you can follow us on Twitter and Facebook too.

And, there’s Buster Keaton in Sherlock Jr on 3 October, and some local-themed films from the South East Film Archive on the following day, both as part of the Forest Row Festival.
And Transition Forest Row will be screening seven films too, so there’s going to be lots to choose from, and something for everyone (we hope!).
