Moving Image Summer Sizzlers
The summer season of films has just been released by Moving Image, the independent community cinema group in Wivenhoe. Five screenings in total will take place, covering cricket, social media and a small town coming of age flick.
Which is more or less my life story.
The Social Network (ACE) The Secret in their Eyes, Life in a Day, The Last Picture Show and Fire in Babylon make up the schedule. The first four films are being screened at the Philip Road *cough* Multiplex.
Fire in Babylon, the documentary about the Windies team of the 70′s and 80′s, is being shown rather appropriately at Rectory Road as part of the Wivenhoe Town Cricket Club cricket festival.
Once again Moving Image is showing great initiative in extending the screenings out into the community. The Philip Road Centre, The Lakeside, the KGV, The Station pub - Wivenhoe seems to have become a network of pop up cinemas overnight.
The Philip Road Centre remains the flagship location (stop sniggering…) Dave Gladden and Amanda Smith have recently put in place some heavyweight lightproof curtains to help with the black out. Rick Cawley has been sourcing a new sound system as well.
Following these summer screenings, Moving Image is taking a short break until September. This has been a fantastic first year for the vision of an independent community cinema in Wivenhoe. As ever, volunteers are always needed…
