Day in the Dark


Corrie Film Club’s annual all-day film fest takes place on Saturday, 28th February. Devoted film buffs tend to arrive with cushions and loungers, settling in for the day, but the less dedicated (or fanatical!) pick and choose as they wish. Some prefer the come-and-go approach, arriving for coffee and a film then going home again, or else joining in for a lunchtime bowl of soup, nipping home to feed the cat and coming back for the evening feature. It truly is Open House, and a lot of fun. Corrie Hall is always a warm centre of activity, where delicious food seems to arrive as though by magic, and all comers are welcome. You don’t have to be a club member, this is a completely open event, free to all. See below for the programme.
