| A successful start to our 2014 season – and June screenings Posted: 28 May 2014 02:26 PM PDT Hi Filmspotters, We have been a little bit quiet the past couple of months, because we have been working on a new website, and booking in some great events for our upcoming season! Firstly, let’s have a quick look back at 2014 so far… Launch of the Filmspot CMPCA Pop Up Cinema Club During March, we launched our pop-up cinema club with the CMPCA in Brighton, with a sell-out screening of Billy Wilder’s fantastic Sunset Boulevard in St Michael’s Church Hall, Brighton.  The audience settling in for ‘Sunset Boulevard’ at St Michael’s Church Hall The film received a great reception from the audience, and the CMPCA did a fantastic job catering for everybody who came along to the screening, with delicious pizzas and salads! There was a very festive atmosphere, and we are now looking forward to our next event with this friendly, lively community group, in June (details follow below). Museums at Night: Newhaven Fort We took part in a fun evening at Newhaven Fort earlier in May, to promote our upcoming WWI Commemorative Weekend. In August we shall be screening Wings and All Quiet on the Western Front at the Fort. Details will follow in a future blog post. For the Museums at Night event, we screened trailers for the two films in the entrance to the Fort, and were on hand to talk to visitors about the events we have run at the Fort over the past five years.

Elderflower Fields Festival Over the bank holiday weekend, Filmspot had a great time at Elderflower Field Festival, in Ashdown Forest. We screened two films at this family festival: The Croods and Project Wild Thing. The screenings were very popular – with over 100 people settling down in the cinema tent!  Audience in the cinema tent at Elderflower Fields Upcoming screenings… We have three exciting events coming up in June. On Saturday 7 June we are working in association with Sussex Community Rail Partnership and Seaford Cinema to take part in the celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the Seaford to Brighton train line. We will be at Bishopstone Station 10am – 4pm. Filmspot will be presenting local and well-known travel-related film in the atmospheric Art Deco Grade II Listed station building. Films will include charming advertisements created by children from Newhaven Harbour Primary School. As part of the celebrations, there will be events running at various locations along the Seaford to Brighton line. See the Sussex Community Rail Partnership website for details. On Saturday 21 June, we are delighted to be working with the Sussex Deaf Community for this inaugural Deaf Community Cinema Night in Seaford. It will start at 7.30pm at Claremont Hall, Brooklyn Road, Seaford. For this event, we are presenting 'Retreat', the riveting short film by deaf filmmaker, Ted Evans, followed by a screening of award-winning sci-fi blockbuster, 'Gravity'. Both films will be presented for the deaf and hard of hearing, with subtitles – however the event is open to all. Tickets cost £6 adults; £4 children (12+); £18 family tickets (2 adults, 2 children aged 12+). To book, please contact Nadia Nadarajah at deafdiaspora@gmail.com On Saturday 28 June, we are continuing our series of screenings for the Filmspot CMPCA Pop Up Cinema Club, with a screening of one of the most acclaimed, and darkest, of the iconic Ealing Comedies, 'Kind Hearts and Coronets'. The event is at St Michael’s Hall, Brighton, Doors open at 7 for 7.30pm start. Set in 1900, Louis Mazzini (Denis Price) is a descendant of the aristocratic D'Ascoyne family. His mother was disowned by the family for marrying an Italian singer. After his mother's death, Louis hatches a plan to murder all the D'Ascoynes standing between him and the cherished family dukedom. The film features an astonishing turn by Alec Guinness, who portrays eight different members of the D'Ascoyne family.
