SUMMARY:Afternoon Film: Younger (PG)
DESCRIPTION:“Exercise is not a luxury. It is the key to healthy ageing.”\nOlga Kotelko (1919-2014) World record holder – Masters’ athletics \nIn a quiet corner\, far removed from big money\, celebrity status and drug scandals lies the true value of sport. This is a film about friendship and purpose in masters athletics\, a place where every five years\, getting older means becoming the youngest. \nYounger follows a group of female athletes in their 60s\, 70s and 80s over the course of a year as they prepare to compete in masters competitions. In these competitions\, athletes compete in age groups that span five years\, 60-64\, 65-69 etc. When an athlete moves up an age group they are then the youngest\, and this means they are more likely to win or break records. So\, as they approach the top end of their classification\, they look forward to being a year older and moving up to the next group where they will be the new kid on the block again. \nDorothy\, 85\, loves the camaraderie of her gang (as she calls them). Joylyn\, 69 hopes to keep going into her 80s and 90s. Sue\, 69\, says pole vaulting has helped her cope with cancer\, twice. Noel\, 74\, loves the technical challenge of race walking.\nFor all of them\, training and competing in masters athletics is about being part of a supportive community\, achieving personal goals and living a purposeful life full of adventures and fun. In doing so\, these women show an energy\, joyful determination\, and fulfilment in older age\, that offers a powerful antidote to lazy stereotypes around ageing. \nPLUS -Short film Older: A portrait of photographer and activist\, Alex Rotas.\nDir. Danielle Sellwood. 6m 32s. \nSupported by the Friends of Bishop’s Castle Community\, Care Home and Hospital.Tea and biscuits £1\,\nNo stairs\, tables  & chairs\,\nHearing loop\,\nFree Dial–a-ride bus service from Bishops Castle and Lydbury North please phone 01588 638350\nAll Tickets £4 Accompanying Carers FREE

SUMMARY:NTLIVE: Present Laughter (PG)
DESCRIPTION:Present Laughter\nby Noël Coward \n★★★★★‘Andrew Scott’s revelatory performance shows why Noël Coward is hailed a genius’ Telegraph\n★★★★★  ‘Andrew Scott is wondrous in this revelatory refresh of Noël Coward’s classic comedy’\nTime Out \nThe multi award-winning production of Noël Coward’s provocative comedy featuring Andrew Scott (Vanya\, Fleabag) returns to the big screen. \nAs he prepares to embark on an overseas tour\, star actor Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention\, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love\, sex\, panic and soul-searching. \n★★★★★ ‘The show belongs to Scott’ The Times\n★★★★★ ‘illuminating and luminously funny’ WhatsOnStage\n★★★★★ ‘A treat of a production’ Financial Times \nFilmed live from The Old Vic in London during a sold out run in 2019\, Matthew Warchus (Matilda The Musical) directs this giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame\, desire and loneliness. \nWe screen this in 2019 but it was so good we thought there might be people who didn’t catch it last time or want to see it again!

SUMMARY:FILM: Wilding (PG)
DESCRIPTION:7.5 IMDB \n★★★★”Nature is healing in this soul-enhancing\, hopeful ode to the British countryside ” Time Out \nBased on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title\, WILDING tells the incredible story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing\, four-hundred-year-old estate. \nThey set to work with their groundbreaking vision\, battling entrenched tradition and major forces along the way\, daring to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. \nRipping down the fences\, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. \nIt is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe and beyond. \n“Mapping the regeneration of over-farmed and polluted land given over to the wild in 2000\, this is a welcome story about nature’s ability to just get on with it.” The Guardian \n \n
