Even before the British Film Festival starts, over the coming weekend, Hay's Film Society have triumphed! They have won the award for Best Programming at the British Federation of Film Societies annual national conference!
When you look at their brochure, you can see why - there's a lot of variety.
There's that wonderful classic The African Queen, and Liz Taylor in Suddenly Last Summer
A French classic, Belle de Jour
A film from the Congo, about a group of disabled street musicians, called Benda Bilili, a film from Iran called Gabbeh and a film following a platoon in Afghanistan called Restrepo.
An Ealing comedy, The Ladykillers (and quiz, for Christmas)
A film on a religious theme, this year Of Gods and Men, about Trappist monks in 1969 Algeria
and The Station Agent, starring Peter Dinklage, who recently won an award for his role as Tyrion Lannister in A Game of Thrones.
it just goes to show that there's a lot more to films than the latest Hollywood blockbuster about superheroes in 3D!
(Though, having said that, I rather enjoyed Captain America when I saw it in London).
