Cinema
We have been presenting films at the Village Hall since September 2016 and in 2017 BLF funded a high-quality 7-speaker, audio-visual system and an installed 3.5m screen. There are no membership requirements and we invite people from Ravensthorpe and surrounding villages to enjoy our varied screenings. Capacity is in excess of 70, but we often fill the room and therefore advise booking tickets in advance.
There are normally two film screenings a month from September to June – one mainstream film, one ‘cinephile’ – usually on Tuesday evenings. In addition to films, we show the complete National Theatre Live screenings programme – approximately one screening per month, usually on Friday evenings.
You will find details of how to book – along with a link – on each screenings page.
Mainstream
MainstreamWe choose films across diverse genres that we think our audience will appreciate.
Typically these will be very well received recent films that people may have missed or older films that people would enjoy seeing again on ‘the big screen’.
Cinephile
These are typically foreign language films, documentaries or are of particular cinematographic merit.
Often attended by a more committed cinema-goers and film lovers, we recommend you come along as these films promise diverse ideas, styles and perspectives with insights into different cultures or ways of life.
