Some of our favourite highlights include <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/love-and-friendship\/\"><em>Love and Friendship<\/em><\/a>, the scintillating new Jane Austen adaptation directed by Whit Stillman and starring Kate Beckinsale, and the upliftingly lovely <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/sing-street\/\"><em>Sing Street<\/em><\/a> from Ireland. In addition, we have Thomas Vinterberg&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/the-commune\/\"><em>The Commune<\/em><\/a> (Denmark), <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/victoria\/\"><em>Victoria<\/em><\/a>, a German film shot in a single take and one of the most stunning bits of film-making we have seen, and <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/tangerines\/\"><em>Tangerines<\/em><\/a>, a remarkable Georgian\/Estonian co-production.<\/p>\n<p>The very special screenings we have arranged for you start off early in the season with a <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/georges-melies-triple-bill\/\">Georges M\u00e9li\u00e8s triple bill<\/a>, with an amazing live band. This is completely unmissable! We also have the British silent film <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/shooting-stars\/\"><em>Shooting Stars<\/em><\/a> (1928) with piano accompaniment, and a complete screening of Satyajit Ray&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/the-apu-trilogy\/\"><em>Apu Trilogy<\/em><\/a>, by special arrangement with the BFI. This is one of the most stunning creations in the history of world cinema and will be an essential way to spend a Saturday in February.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re also happy to have three wonderful family films this season in our Sunday matinee slot during the dark winter months. Kicking off with the lovely animation <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/the-king-and-the-mockingbird\/\"><em>The King and the Mockingbird<\/em><\/a> (1980), we also have the rather more recent <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/ernest-and-celestine\/\"><em>Ernest and Celestine<\/em><\/a>, plus the delightful <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/moon-man\/\"><em>Moon Man<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we have three other screenings for other organisations in the area. The Isle of Thorns Bowls Club is hosting a screening of the bowls-related comedy <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/blackball\/\"><em>Blackball<\/em><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/climate-forest-row-presentation\/\">Climate Forest Row<\/a> will be showing a film in December. An event early in the season is a screening of <a href=\"https:\/\/forestrowfilmsociety.org\/news\/films\/encounter-point\/\"><em>Encounter Point<\/em><\/a>, for local activist Michal Kahn, which will also be eagerly awaited.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to seeing you at our films this autumn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From our opening presentation of Mustang onwards we have an amazing selection of new films this season from all around the world.
