What should we screen next season? We want your ideas. It may seem a bit early, since we’re barely three months into this season, but it is important that we start thinking about it now. It has been a bumper year for great films, so we’re potentially spoilt for choice. We’ve also finally tracked down the rights holder for Dreyer’s incredible Ordet (1955), so I think we can safely assume that that will be in the programme.

If you have any thoughts, you can suggest a film, and if you have a moment, do have a look at some of the film lists on our films available page. We’re also trawling through old BFI 16mm catalogues to see what rare gems we can find, and will add some more lists in due course.

Other films that have caught our eyes on the recent lists include:

• Welcome
• A Prophet
• The White Ribbon
• Departures
• Fish Tank
• Katalin Varga
• Orlando

but there is much to choose from, so let us know what you think would do well in Forest Row.

Several people have also been talking about doing even more films, whether as a festival or a more substantial season of films for children. These are all great ideas, and it would be wonderful to do them all but we will need a few more people to get involved if we want to deliver them. Choosing the films is the easy bit. As Ted Hope noted on Twitter this morning:

Cinema requires an audience. A movie shown in an empty room is not cinema. Spend as much time on bringing them as on what you show them

Great advice. Any takers?
