9. Film. This year the Eastbourne Film Society is mounting a spring season of three films at the Curzon Cinema with seats available for the public. The first screens next Wednesday March 20, and is set in Copenhagen - Gustav Möller’s The Guilty. The central character is a policeman who faces a challenging night while on telephone duty for Copenhagen’s Emergency Services. He has to handle a call from a woman pretending that she is talking to somebody else entirely - in this way the driver of the car she is in will not suspect that she is in touch with the police.

10. Theatre. V by Tony Harrison will be performed by Sean McLevy at DC1 Cafe and Gallery on Thursday March 21 from 7pm at DC1 Gallery & Café on Seaside. Tickets £5 from www.onlineticketseller.com or from DC1. This 45 minute performance contains very strong adult language. V was written during the miners’ strike of 1984/5 when Harrison visited his parents’ grave in a Leeds cemetery and found it vandalised. In the book-length poem, he confronts the foul-mouthed thug responsible. Performed by Mclevy - now living in Eastbourne, originally born in Sheffield - Sean lived through the miners’ strike as well as the closure of the steel industry. Being made redundant from the latter he became an actor in 1983.
