North West Theatre Company Film Club MOVIE OF THE MONTH

February’s Film Cub offering is Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope

A great year of movies starts with one of the best ever! What has been your most memorable experience on big screen Cinema?

In 1978, at the old Armidale Theatre, I went with a group of thirty colleagues at a Summer School at UNE, to see what has become the second biggest earning movie of all time. (Second only to ‘Gone with the Wind’.)

That movie was ‘Star Wars’, and we all whooped and hollered as the characters flew, fought, and floundered across the galaxy. The NWTC Film Club will launch its 2023 year with this classic film, and you really DO have to see it on the big screen to fully enjoy it.

Star Wars began with the 1977 introduction of what has become a worldwide franchise phenomena. Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia and Darth Vader and of course C3-PO and R2D2 featured in what the franchise now calls Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope.

‘Star Wars’ will show at the Roxy Theatre, Bingara on Sunday, February 26 commencing at 4:00pm. To see ‘Star Wars’, and other great films on the last Sunday in each month you need to be a member of the NWTC Film Club. The annual fee is $60 and the full program for 2023 can be viewed in the Roxy front windows. You can join on the day of screening, but better still, join at the Tourist Office or email nwtheatrecompany@gmail.com for direct transfer details.

Come along and have the ‘Star Wars’ BIG SCREEN experience at the Roxy!
