It is always a delight choosing things to screen in Forest Row. Among our selection of great films from around the world, we like to have a balance of the recent, the classic, the obscure, and the unexpected, while at the same time to try out something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps unusually for us, this year\u2019s programme has a prominent strand of films exploring many different sides of masculinity. These range from The Eight Mountains<\/em>, set in the Italian Alps, and the very moving and sad Close<\/em>, about two boys in rural Belgium, through to Flee<\/em> and The Blue Caftan<\/em>. It is a theme running through many of the films this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though we are still just doing one regular screening a month, in this season we have three special events on Saturdays in the dark winter months. The last of these, in March, is the remarkably humane Red Beard<\/em> by the great Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, which contrasts with our special February offering, a double bill of quirky classic American independent films: Jim Jarmusch\u2019s Down By Law<\/em> (1986), and the Coens\u2019 O Brother Where Art Thou?<\/em> (2000). Our special events start in December, and we are delighted to welcome back Olivier award-winning composer, Terry Davies, for a screening of The Golem<\/em> (1920), with live music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The season opens with what we imagine will be a popular choice for Forest Row, Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom<\/em>, and also includes the fabulous Alcarr\u00e0s<\/em>, by Spanish director Carla Sim\u00f3n, whose previous film Summer 1993<\/em> we had in our last pre-Covid season. We hope there is something for everyone, and we look forward to seeing you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is always a delight choosing things to screen in Forest Row.
