King’s Lynn Community Cinema Club kicking off winter season with La Chimera screening at St George’s Guildhall

This month marks the start of an exciting new winter season for Lynn Community Cinema Club.

Once again the new season will be showing eight films over the next six months with the first screening with La Chimera kicking off on Thursday, November 14 at 7.30pm.

The Lynn Community Cinema Club (KLCCC) currently screens its films in the historic St George’s Guildhall on King Street which has been its home for the last 14 years, but in the new year when this closes for renovation, KLCCC will be moving into Screen 2 at the Majestic Cinema.

Ian Barton, club chairman, said: “It will certainly be a wrench to leave the Guildhall.

“But it is also very exciting for our members as the superior facilities offered at the Majestic will certainly be appreciated.

“We are looking forward to the comfortable seating, larger screen, better sound system, pre-film bar, and perhaps most importantly being fully accessible to all our members.

“We shall make the move to the Majestic for our first screening in January, so we see the next couple of films as our goodbye to the Guildhall.”

The film to start the season off is an Italian adventure comedy ‘La Chimera’.

It follows the rather crumbled English archaeologist Arthur as he is released from jail and reconnects with his accomplices - a happy-go-lucky collective of grave robbers who survive by looting Etruscan tombs and fencing the treasures they dig up.

This film has been well-received and has already won 12 awards at international film festivals. This film is subtitled.

Now is a great time to join KLCCC and guarantee free entry to all screenings. This can be paid in cash on the door at the November film or BACS payments for membership can be arranged by simply emailing communitycinemaclub@googlemail.com.

Anyone over 18 years old is welcome to become a member.

Alternatively, people can just go along to any individual film as a day member for £5. Only cash payments can be made on the door.

Full details of all the club’s films and events can be found on the club website www.klccc.uk and Facebook page.

The membership fee of £17 has been held for the eighth year running - this works out at just £2.13 a film.
