Bungay Film Club at the Fisher Theatre

Dear All,
Lots of good news.

We have a provisional programme. We have booked dates for screenings. We will be showing films in the Fisher Theatre’s main auditorium.

The three films we hope to book are I HAVE LOVED YOU SO LONG, MAN ON WIRE and BICYCLE THIEVES.

More information about the films to follow when the programme has been finalised.

Dates for screenings will be Mon 27 April, Mon 25 May and Mon 29 June 2009.

Screenings will take place at 7.30 pm.

The bar will be open before and after the film, staffed by our own volunteers.

We have a Bank Account and Subscriber Cards, and can collect subscriptions at last.

Subscriptions for our first season of three films will be £15.00.

Your support in offering money up front would be very much appreciated. However, it will be possible to pay on the door for individual films. We hope to be able to introduce a fairer pricing structure in the autumn.

We also hope to book some more of the classic films that many of you requested. It is surprising how many great films are unavailable for public screening, or unavailable to be screened on DVD. Many of those that can be booked are available through a company which requires a refundable deposit of £150 beforehand. Initially this has been an obstacle, but it shouldn’t prove insurmountable.

We hope to be putting in a funding application to Screen East shortly. We will be exploring other fund-raising options once our first season is booked and publicised. In the meantime, we will be selling second hand DVDs at meetings and screenings (any unwanted DVDs welcome); and we continue to collect money for our contingency fund.

Our publicity campaign will need to be done on a shoestring. Please let us know if you have any suggestions, or would like to help. And please tell your friends, your neighbours, your colleagues and your families about the Bungay Film Club; and offer our email address to anyone who sounds interested. We’ll let you know as soon as we’ve got posters or a printed programme to support you in spreading the word.

Now we look forward to hearing from you. Please drop me a line if you’d like to subscribe, to make a contribution to our contingency fund or to help.

Hope to see you in April.

Best wishes,

Katharine
