Bright Star - Sunday 5th December
Sunday 7th November - Tricks (Sztuczki)

Blending comedy and magical realism, Tricks (Sztuczki) is an engaging and warm-hearted film from Poland that follows the efforts of six-year-old Stefen to re-unite his family.
Elk , is a smart 18-year-old working in a bar in a small Polish town and hoping that her growing command of Italian will get her a secretarial job in a big new corporation. She is always having to look after her annoying kid brother Stefek, who has nothing to do in the summer holidays but lope around getting under everyone's feet, ruin Elka's chances of getting her job and hang around when her boyfriend shows up, hoping to take her off for a ride on his motorbike. When he's not just being irritating, Stefek likes hanging around the local train station, and it is here, where some business people take a cigarette break while changing trains, that Stefek spots the man who seems to him to be the father who deserted the family many years before. So he embarks on a series of "tricks" to get this man to stick around long enough to make contact with his mother, and these are either little challenges to fate, or wiles which might actually delay his departure.
Director Jakimowski taps into his own childhood for this engaging and warmly authentic slice of life drama which results in a beautiful little film that really gets under the skin.
Membership for the season, at £18, is still available and guests are welcome to pay on the door (£6).
Summary of films for 2010-2011
The community cinema in Broughton starts its new season next month. 2009 was a great year for British Films and three of the best will be screened, starting with The Education on 9th October. BAFTA winning Carrey Mulligan gives an astounding performance in this funny and poignant coming-of-age drama. It’s reminiscent of the great kitchen sink dramas of the 1960’s and rated by many critics as one of the best films of the year. Other British films being shown are Bright Star and The Ghost Writer. Bright Star is a drama based on the romance between John Keats and Fanny Brawne. Considered by many to be Jane Campion’s best film yet, it has a heartfelt quality that irresistible draws in the viewer. Roman Polanski creates a slow-burning and elegant political adventure in The Ghost Writer. Scottish actor Ewan McGregor stars as the Prime Minister’s biographer in this exciting thriller which manages to combine the elegance of Hitchcock with the cynicism of Polanski.

SUNDAY 7th March
Quietly observing the inhabitants of the sleepy hamlet of Trefeurig, the film builds a poetic picture not only of what stands to be lost through thoughtless modernisation, but how rapidly whole ways of life are being eroded. The film has received almost universal critical acclaim being
