Grand Re-opening
With this Newsletter we are delighted to announce our grand re-opening for audience screenings.
A significant event in the Society’s history, this event is scheduled to take place in the Roysse Room at the Abbey Cinema in Abingdon on September 29th at 7.30pm.
Our association with Abbey Cinema is the culmination of a series of discussions with owners Sue and Ian Wiper over the course of the past two years or so. During that time, they have enthusiastically supported and encouraged us in our plans for the future of ABCD, for which we owe them a considerable debt of gratitude.
The film we shall be screening on the 29th is The Outfit (Britain/USA, 2022, dir. Graham Moore) which was featured (and highly rated) at the recent ICO Viewing Sessions at the National Film
Theatre.
To mark the occasion, the screening will be free of charge (but there will be a nominal £1.00 membership fee)
Booking details can be found on Abbey Cinema’s Website https://theabbey.ac. This link takes you to their home page, down which you will have to scroll to access the stock image for The Outfit. Selecting that will take you to a 7.30pm | GUILDHALL| option, from which you can then make your booking (£1.00 nominal membership fee). More information about the booking process and our current programme schedule can be found by searching under ‘About Us’ on
the ABCD Website https://abfilms.org.uk.
For the first screening, our Membership Secretary will be on hand to assist anyone who wants to see the film but has not been able to book online.
Continuing our established and popular-with-members practice, a Programme Note for the film has been produced and accompanies this Newsletter. Instituted from the foundation of the Society in 1975, Programme Notes encapsulate a descriptive context to film you are about to see, plus technical details and ‘trailers’ for forthcoming films.
Reactions to and comments on films, which should be Emailed to mj4603769@gmail.com, will be available on the ABCD Website in due course. If you wish to give a film a ranking score, please use the following guide :- A (very good), B (good), C (mediocre), D (poor), E (awful!).
Note: If this is the first time you have received an ABCD Newsletter and would like to find out more about the Film Society, please contact our Membership Secretary by Emailing info@abfilms.org.uk
