ILKLEY Film Society has unveiled the programme for its 53rd season. From September to June at Ilkley Playhouse (Sundays at 8pm) the society will screen 21 films from 11 different countries.
The programme includes Oscar and BAFTA winning titles like Nomadland and After Love, and lesser known films from Kosovo and Croatia, Iran and Japan. Blu-ray discs will be used wherever possible, and American (but not British) films will be screened with hard-of-hearing subtitles.
The season opens on 11th September with the British film, The Duke, starring Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren.
Full membership for the season costs £40, with nothing more to pay - a price which the society has kept unchanged for eight seasons! Limited membership, with admission to any 10 films, is available for £30. Members can also have a complementary drink at the after-film discussion group, there will be a Christmas double bill with mince pies between the films, and the final event in June will start with wine and nibbles. “The best value in Wharfedale” is the society’s claim !
A membership application form is included in the Film Society brochure, available from the Visitor Centre in Ilkley Library and from the Clarke Foley Community Centre. The form can also be downloaded from the society’s website at www.ilkleyfilmsociety.org where further information about all the films will be found.
