Worthing Film Club promises "unmissable screenings"

Worthing Film Club is promising a spring season of unmissable screenings spanning six decades of cinema from around the globe.

Film club volunteer Richard Knightwell said: “The upcoming screenings showcase the different cinematic experiences film fans from across Sussex can enjoy when becoming a part of this long-running local community.

“On May 20, the club screens Rose of Nevada, a brand-new release rated 100 per cent critical acclaim on Rotten Tomatoes. Early word suggests this homegrown British spine-chiller, starring Callum Turner, is one of the most haunting films of the year.

“The season closes on June 15 with Solaris, the monumental science fiction classic. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 epic of world cinema demands to be seen on a big screen.

“Worthing Film Club is an independent, not-for-profit community. Founded in 2007, the club holds regular monthly screenings in different venues around the town, showing iconic classics, electrifying new releases, cult oddities and the best of world cinema.

“Members get into screenings free. A seasonal pass covering any three screenings over six months is available from £15. Gift memberships and an under-21 discount are also available, and members can also borrow films from a free DVD and Blu-ray library at each screening.”

Clare Burleigh, one of the volunteers who helps run Worthing Film Club, said: “Your local film club has always been about bringing exciting and iconic films to the town so you have a chance to see them on the big screen where they belong. You don't have to be a movie expert to come along, and members are of a range of ages from all across Sussex. We welcome anyone who wants to enjoy amazing films you might not see anywhere else.”

Richard added: “I’m glad I joined the club a few years ago because of the variety you get when you join the community. Coming up, we've got a Hollywood classic, a brand new highly-praised homegrown flick, and an outstanding but little-seen epic of world cinema. With the club's 20th anniversary coming up next year, it's great to see lots of new members signing up, and we're looking forward to revealing some big plans!”
