Luke and Christie are best mates who like to go camping, drink lager and talk about Julie Bridges. But, when they leave school, will Luke, Christie and Julie go their separate way? Set in the south Wales valleys in 1989, this is a touching play about friendship and the hopes and fears of young people.

Denbigh Film Club - The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind (2019) (8 May 2020)

Denbigh Film Club - The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind (2019)(PG) Drama

“The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind” tells the true story of William Kamkwamba; the young Malawian genius who built a windmill entirely via DIY methods in the early 2000s, to save his family and village from drought and famine. Oscar-nominated actor Chiwetel Ejiofor’s skilled directorial debut is as inspiring and morally upright as you’d expect from a film with such rousing source material drawn from real life.

While thoroughly traditional with familiar beats of an exceptional child, his disapproving father and an eventual resolution that unites generations, Ejiofor’s movie eloquently harnesses all these customary elements and yields them into an irresistible family film with an urgent human-interest dimension at its heart. Synopsis from www.rogerebert.com

Doors open 7:00pm. Film starts 7.30pm.

Bar and Refreshments available. Tickets £4 on the door

Denbigh Film Club - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) (12 June 2020)

Denbigh Film Club - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)(15) Crime|Drama

No one does angry better than Frances McDormand, who does her best film work here since Fargo as Mildred Hayes, a recently divorced mother who lost her daughter Angela less than a year ago. Angela was raped and murdered, but the case has gone cold. There was no matching DNA, so the spotlight has dimmed and Mildred is getting no updates. She’s angry. She should be. One day, she sees three barren billboards on a rarely-traveled road, and she rents the space to ask the local chief of police, played by Woody Harrelson, why there are no answers.

Local media becomes interested in the billboards, and the attention sparks a series of events involving not only the chief but one of his more loathsome officers, played by Sam Rockwell. Peter Dinklage, Caleb Landry Jones, Abbie Cornish, Lucas Hedges, Clarke Peters, and John Hawkes fill out a ridiculously perfect supporting cast. Synopsis from www.rogerebert.com

Doors open 7:00pm. Film starts 7.30pm.

Bar and Refreshments available. Tickets £4 on the door
