Chewton Film Society’s 2025 program is set to kick off on February 6 with the screening of 2012 film Blancanieves – a twist on the Snow White fairytale that is set in 1920s Seville and centred on a female bullfighter.
This year the Chewton Film Society has invited some local film aficionados – Bev Orgill, Phil Orgill and Chris Hooper – to suggest films for them.
These suggestions were then curated by Beverley Bloxham to arrive at the program for season nine in 2025.
There is a happy mix of old and new films, foreign and home grown, fantasy and truth, drama, romance and comedy.
They portray strong women, loving men, resourceful children, good parents, fathers and sons, a tailor, an apple, a bullfighter, an aeroplane, a caftan, a bicycle, seven dwarves and a disembodied brain (but not all in the one film!).
Screenings take place on the first Thursday of the month at the Chewton Senior Citizens Centre in Main Road, Chewton.
Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start (except for the winter months of June, July and August when they screen on the first Sunday of the month. Doors open at 2.30pm for 3pm).
Members are encouraged to socialise and discuss the movie over a light supper after the screening.
