Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Celia Imrie and a host of other well known British actors star in this film about British retirees who travel to India to take up residence in what they believe is a newly restored hotel. Less luxurious than its advertisements, the Marigold Hotel nevertheless slowly begins to charm in unexpected ways. Adapted from the book “These foolish Things” by Deborah Moggach, the film is directed by John Maddon ( Shakespeare in Love). Doors and Bar open 7.30pm Film starts at 8pm |

| TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY ( cert 15) | |
| The 2011 version of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, directed by Tomas Alfredson ( Let the Right One In) and starring Gary Oldman heading a supreme cast ,has been hailed as a marvelously chilling and masterful adaptation of John Le Carre's famous novel of the same name. | |
The international thriller is set at the height of the Cold War years of the mid-20th Century. George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a disgraced British spy, is rehired in secret by his government - which fears that the British Secret Intelligence Service, a.k.a. MI-6, has been compromised by a double agent working for the Soviets. The identity of the mole — who was passing secrets to the Russians — is narrowed down and some of the suspects are nicknamed with the nursery rhyme occupations of the title. Tinker Tailor is a period piece that's about mood as much as it is about drama. Made by a Swede who is an outsider to the British class system, it's unusually sensitive to the ways in which the Establishment represented by the intelligence services is itself filled with outsiders. As a result, this is an adaptation that's less posh, less clubby than the television version. It looks back at the Cold War era – its cruelties and banalities – with a clear, cold eye. Tinker Tailor has received three OSCAR nominations Best Actor in a leading role .................Gary Oldman Sadly, Bridget O'Connor died last year at the age of 49 so knew nothing of the nomination.

Francis Ford Coppola’s production of “Wind” directed by Carroll Ballard is a great look at the sport of competitive sailing and also contains an insight into marine engineering and the process of design and development. Matthew Modine plays Will Parker, a good sailor who is slightly overconfident about his skills. He joins the crew for the Americas Cup, but his actions help to lose the nation's undefeated title to their tough Australian rivals. This was more than just a loss of the cup to the new world champions. It also ended his relationship with girlfriend Kate Bass (Jennifer Grey) and robs the boat captain of his confidence. But, Will Parker, with the next Cup race rolling around wants to reunite a team, and seeks the help of Kate and her new beau Joe (Stellan Skarsgård) to help him rebuild his confidence, his team, and a better boat. Will and his team challenge the Aussie's to defend their title for a second year. The subject of the movie will appeal to all those with an interest in sailing and adventure. The photography is superb as you get the personal perspective of competitive sailing and the film really gives an appreciation of what all goes into the sport. |
Chidham & Hambrook Film Society would like to wish all its members a very Happy New Year and a big thank you for all your support in 2010.
We hope you have seen films you have enjoyed and that you will continue to support us in 2011. We are pleased to announce our new programme for the Spring Season – four great movies and two preceded by our popular meals. Put the dates in your diary now! |

| Chidham & Hambrook Film Society IN BRUGES Friday November 26th, Chidham Village Hall, Doors open 7pm for complimentary drink and nibbles Film showing at 7.30pm Tickets: £5 members £6 non-members Available from : 574074 / 572902 or Email: towers321@btinternet.com |
We are continuing our season with the dark comedy / thriller IN BRUGES . Bruges, the most well-preserved medieval city in the whole of Belgium, is a welcoming destination for travellers from all over the world. But for hit men Ray and Ken, it could be their final destination; a difficult job has resulted in the pair being ordered right before Christmas by their London boss to go and lie low in this the storybook city for a couple of weeks. Very much out of place amidst the gothic architecture, canals, and cobbled streets, the two hit men fill their days living the lives of tourists. As they explore the city (which definitely shares top billing) the consequences are comic, dark, weird and emotional while they await further instructions from their boss in London. Starring Colin Farrell , Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes. BAFTA for best screen play in 2009. (cert 18) |

Chidham & Hambrook Film Society presents Our next event is a classic nautical double feature A classic by Buster Keaton (circa.1921) called The Boat Our main feature is the classic, Knife in the Water (Cert. PG) |
|
We start with a silent classic by Buster Keaton (circa.1921) called The Boat . Buster's handmade boat, The Damfino (get it?), is finished and is, of course, too large to get through the basement door. When he drives off with it in tow, the side of his house, then the whole thing, collapses. At the harbour he sails the boat out only to have it sink beneath him. The rest of the film is a series of adventures that he and his family have with the restored boat. It is, of course, a silent film and we hope to have a local celebrity playing LIVE accompanying music on the piano! After a short break for refreshment at the bar, we then present our main feature which is the classic, Knife in the Water (Cert. PG) The international breakthrough feature film by Roman Polanski (circa.1962) called Knife in the Water is a cagy and sophisticated art film, masterfully judged to take the West by surprise. It provided the springboard for one of the most impressive directorial careers ever. A grey, moody character study of two males' subtle competition for a female, it has an almost uncanny ability to draw one into its hyper-naturalistic surface. The acting and the direction of actors for camera are so good that Polanski is able to enclose us entirely within his tiny world on a small sailboat. Friday, 26 th March at 7:00pm |

It's 2010 and Christmas is already a distant memory. Chidham & Hambrook Film Society are springing back to life with their next presentation on Friday, 29th January. This time it's The Rocky Horror Picture Show a cult film of the 70's. |

It's weird and wonderful as newly wed couple Brad and Janet encounter a problem when their car breaks down in the rain. They both look for help, only to find themselves at the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. A place to stay is offered, but will Brad and Janet want to remain there? Especially when a large group of Transylvanians dance to the 'Time Warp'. Dr. Frank-N-Furter builds his own man and there is a whole host of participation for the audience to enjoy. |
Traditionally audience participation is encouraged; see http://www.rockyhorror.com/participation/ However, at the Village Hall we would request that participation is kept at sensible levels. By all means feel free to dress up for the occasion, but the throwing of toilet rolls and rice would not be appropriate here! Date: Friday, 29th January; Time: 7:00pm; Tickets: £5 members, £6 non-members from 574074 or 572902 or take a chance at the door! Licensed bar, 1st drink free! All proceeds to the hall restoration fund. Normally we present film shows on the last Friday of the months of Oct, Nov, Jan, Feb, Mar and Apr. So please keep 26th Feb, 26th Mar and 30th Apr free in your diaries to enable you to enjoy the rest of the FilmSoc Season. |

The Age of Stupid is the new four-year epic from McLibel director Franny Armstrong. Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite stars as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance? |
||||
| With a fresh approach, this documentary combines a series of global warming-related stories with a linking device that's both clever and gimmicky. But it also proves the difficulty of making a film on this important topic that's not depressing. In 2055, the remnants of humanity are being preserved by an archivist (Postlethwaite) who looks back at the events leading up to the global climate tipping point 40 years earlier. He shows us six stories: a Mumbai businessman (Wadia) is setting up India's first low-cost airline; a British developer (Guy) battles protesters to install a wind farm; a New Orleans oil company scientist (Duvernay) rescues people after Hurricane Katrina; a Nigerian medical student (Malemi) struggles against oil company pollution; an 82-year-old French mountain guide (Pareau) watches as an Alpine glacier melts away; and an 8-year-old Iraqi girl (Bayyoud) yearns for her brother to join her as a refugee in Jordan. Each of these stories is lively and fascinating, and filmmaker Armstrong includes current news footage, clever effects work, terrific animated segments and a wealth of information that's often quite scary. The key question is why we're not stopping climate change while we still can. Individually, none of the stories seem particularly devastating, but by intercutting between them, the cumulative effect highlights our individual responsibility to take care of the planet and do what we can. On the other hand, as with other climate change docs (including Al Gore's more entertaining An Inconvenient Truth), the ultimate feeling is one of helplessness. While we can make key individual choices, it's the world's leaders who must push for significant changes. And we know that's not likely to happen in a world where oil is such a key player both economically and politically. The oil companies are the villains in this film, with evidence of greed and injustice that's often overpowering. Oil profits rarely benefit residents of the countries where it's found, and lobbyists make sure alternative energy sources can never find equal footing. But the filmmakers also go after consumer culture, in which we throw out anything we're tired of and believe the capitalism myth that economic growth can continue forever. It's this attitude that has made us afraid of taking direct action to find a balance of equity and sustainability. And that's pretty stupid. |

| June 5th 2009 | Film Night at the Village Hall |
On Friday 5th June Chidham & Hambrook Film Society celebrate the end of their first season with the screening of 'Touching the Void'. A true story of a climbing adventure in the Andes that doesn’t go exactly to plan. |
|
This is the true story of two young British climbers Simon Yates and Joe Simpson, who in 1985 set off to scale the hitherto unclimbed West Face of the Siula Grande, a 21,000ft peak in the Peruvian Andes. Simpson and Yates reach the summit but shortly after starting the descent, an accident turns their daring expedition into a desperate fight for survival. One climber is badly injured. Using alpine climbing techniques, the two climbers are roped together and try to descend to safety. Later the injured climber falls into a crevasse - still attached to his mate by a rope. The able bodied climber is in danger of being pulled in too. What would you do? Fall to your deaths together or cut the rope? This film tells of the decision and the repercussions which could haunt their lives. An action docu-drama with a psychological twist. Chidham & Hambrook Village Hall Friday, 5 th June, 7 p.m. |

Wed 29th October (Half term week) |

| Chidham & Hambrook Film Society's first children's matinee was enjoyed on Wednesday afternoon by 40 parents and children upstairs in the village hall. The room and stage were transformed by Bill Thomas into a village cinema. Using his professional equipment and 8' x 10' screen, he was able to work cinemagraphic magic and entertain the filmgoers with a top quality presentation, not yet released to DVD. Kung Fu Panda had the children and parents cheering as, true to tradition, the force of good overcomes the "baddie" and they all live happily ever after! Bill Thomas is happy to make the Children's Matinee a regular feature in the village hall at half-term. So let's hope all those who enjoyed it this week will tell their friends so that next time, in February, we will be able to fill the hall with families having fun! |
