The village hall hosts very popular regular film showings under the Flicks in the Sticks section of the Arts Alive organisation. Showings are typically once a month on a Friday evening, with some extra ones on Sundays in the winter months. There are even the occasional showings with supper. These events are more than just a film show, being a social occasion for the village where interval affords time to chat over a glass of wine or eat an ice cream.
The organisers aim to bring a varied selection of films the Colwall, not only showings of recent bit hits of the cinema, but films less well-known, or even unknown to most of the audience, that the organisers regard as having the potential to appeal to the local audience; some foreign films are shown, but always with English sub-titles.
Although run and financed independently from the village hall, the organisers have been able to purchase a full surround sound, large screen cinema system, which is now on permanent loan to the village hall and available to all hall users, for which the management committee are very grateful. See the link below if you would like to be kept informed of upcoming films.

The Keeper (2018, Cert 15, 98 mins)

Bert Trautmann’s talent as a goalkeeper was spotted by the manager of a local team while he was still a prisoner of war. Despite post-war hatred and prejudice, Bert went on to become a legendary goalkeeper and icon at Manchester City FC. His natural talent, and his love for the game and for Margaret, the daughter of the man who first spotted his talent, saw him through. He won over his harshest opponents during the 1956 FA Cup Final, playing with a broken neck to help his team secure victory. While recovering, however, fate put Bert and Margaret’s love for each other to the ultimate test.

Note: you don’t need to be a football fan to enjoy this incredible true story but there is some “dressing room” language at times.
