A MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN

Neil Salmon
CHAIRMAN

Our Society aims to provide a well balanced programme to appeal to members who are keen cinema-goers as well as those who go infrequently. So our season of fourteen films includes fairly unfamiliar titles, some well known recent films and some celebrated classics of the cinema.
Half the programme consists of foreign language films. We strongly regret that the circuit cinemas and even today's numerous TV channels usually fight shy of anything subtitled. World cinema extends well beyond Hollywood, the UK and other English speaking countries!
The Society enjoys the use of professional projection and the facilities of Ipswich Film Theatre. But the Film Society is rather different from other kinds of cinema-going. Most members re-join because there is a feeling of belonging to a film-loving community. Members contribute, via a questionnaire, to the Committee's choice of films for the following season. And after each show, members are invited to rate the film on a 5-point scale, the results of which are announced at the next meeting. These results can be surprising or amusing!
Programme details are available in brochures displayed at Ipswich Film Theatre, Ipswich Tourist Information Office and some librares in late August. Existing members will have had two weeks of priority booking. If you aren't a member and would like to be put on the mailing list for next season, please contact the Membership Secretary on 01473 603776.
