screens

it’s Hundredth Film and regular matinee screenings will continue too

This month Liskerrett Community Cinema will be screening it’s

hundredth film ’Woman in Gold’ on Friday 8th January (see Page

2). The Liskerrett Community Cinema has been running since

2007, with the aim of showing recently released films locally in a

convivial environment with the added pleasure of watching and

discussing a film as a group.

The film club got going thanks to being able to share equipment

owned by Liskeard U3A. However since the first screening in

September 2007 of Little Miss Sunshine lots of things have

improved, not least the quality of the presentation and the

comfort of the seating!’

‘We still share equipment with Liskeard U3A but improved the

quality of our screen and projection five years ago thanks to a

grant from Cornwall Community Foundation and the generosity

of Liskeard Breathers Group’ said Liskerrett volunteer, Jenny

Foster. ‘In 2013 we invested in a new sound system and in 2015 obtained new chairs thanks to the BFI

Neighbourhood Cinema Equipment Fund. We started our regular sub-titled matinee screenings last July, with

funding support from Reaching Communities and Cinema For All.’

‘We were pleased to receive this extra support to help make our screenings as accessible to as many people

as possible. We are a community cinema and it is the audience that get to decide which films will be screened

by casting their votes from a list of choices offered, so audience opinion really does count.’

Based at the Liskerrett Community Centre in Varley Lane, Liskeard, the hall has wheelchair access and

facilities for the disabled so all are welcome. Films are screened on the first Friday of the month (unless it

falls on a bank holiday, as this month) at 2.30pm and at 7.30pm.

‘Tickets cost £4, (£3 for under 16’s). And if you rely on a carer to come with you, they can see the film for

free. To tempt you even further we offer a slice of homemade cake with a cup of tea or coffee for a £1.’

For details of the full film programme visit www.liskerrett.co.uk/films or pick up a flyer from Liskerrett.

Woman In Gold (2015) 109 mins Certificate 12A

Sixty years after she fled Vienna during World War II, an

Suffragette

(2015) 106 minutes Certificate 12A Directed by Sarah Gavron

Suffragette is about the early feminists fighting for equal

voting rights in Edwardian England. These were working

women who had seen peaceful protest achieve nothing.

Radicalised and turning to violence as the only route to

change, they were willing to lose everything in their fight

for equality - their jobs, their homes, their children.

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra have invited Cornish musicians to join them for an orchestral making music day with a difference. As part of their Cornwall Residency the BSO have been working with young people, students and adults giving opportunities for coaching, performances and mentoring. They shall be celebrating their visit to Liskeard by inviting musicians from across Cornwall to work with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’s Associate Musician, Patrick Bailey, along with a string quartet of professional musicians for one day only, creating a brand new piece of music—from scratch—in just 3 hours. Joining forces with Liskeard’s regular “Sounds Vital” project, musicians will form an ensemble of mixed instruments and work together to create rhythms, melodies and musical phrases to form a brand new composition, ready for sharing to family and friends at 2pm. The sharing will also include a performance by the local ‘Sounds Vital’ ensemble, who have been working throughout Autumn to devise new music together, and a performance by the BSO string quartet. Why not support this amazing collaboration by coming along to the performance at Liskeard School and Community College on Saturday 16th January at 2pm. The performance is free. ANY QUESTIONS?
