We have had a successful year, so, to thank you for your support, we have reduced annual membership to a bargain £10. Admission prices will remain at £2.50 for members and £5.00 for guests, so if you join, you could be seeing our films for as little as £3.50 each. You would also be entitled to vote at our Annual General Meeting which would give you more say in the way the club is run.

You’re welcome to subscribe at the Fisher Box Office on 27 September before THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE, but if you would like to save time and pay in advance, please send us a cheque (or give us £10) as it will not be possible to join at the Fisher Theatre at any time when we are not screening a film. Advance subscriptions to our Treasurer at 4 Lower Olland Street, Bungay NR35 1BX before 5 September please. No need to supply your address, membership cards can be collected at the Box Office at Bungay Film Club screenings.

We won’t be screening a film in August, but hope you’ll find something to interest you in our autumn programme and that we’ll see you again soon.

1940, in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. A little village girl sees Boris Karloff in Frankenstein at a travelling cinema show. She becomes entranced and is convinced by her sister that the monster is still alive. When she leaves the village to look for him she befriends a fugitive soldier.

Close to magic. It is one of the most beautiful and arresting films ever made in Spain, or anywhere, in the past 25 years or so.
Derek Malcolm in The Guardian.

A work which memorably captures a child’s perspective on the mysteries of everyday life.

Ana Torrent is among the most appealing child performers in cinema history, and among the most believable.

Superbly played and realised, this stays with you.

Members of a small Egyptian police band arrive in Israel to perform at a cultural event. When there is no delegation to meet them, they lose their way and find themselves stranded overnight in a remote town without hotels. THE BAND’S VISIT is funny, lonely, inspiring, sad, and beautiful all at once and has won the hearts of audiences wherever it has played.

Delightful comedy with a subtle script and charming performances from its three leads.
Matthew Turner in ViewLondon.

Sandra Hall in The Sydney Morning Herald.

I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying it.
