WELCOME We have had such great feedback about the film guide which we produced for the first time, that we thought we would make it a regular thing, so welcome to the January to February season of films at the Arts Centre.

This season there is something special for all you romantics. And also we get to screen a secret passion of mine - French Film. I can personally recommend the double bill of Fanny and Marius as an excellent day spent watching luxury scenery, comic acting and a great story.

The Arts Centre is happy to announce that it has appointed a specific Film and Digital Technician, Isaac, who will be looking after and developing the film productions at the Arts Centre.

Enjoy Curtis Fulcher, Director
