Staithes Cinema Club - The Ballad of Wallis Island

John Hamlin

THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND (cert 12)
7:00pm Saturday January 31st
St Peter's Centre, Church St, Staithes


“One of the great British films of all time” - Richard Curtis, film maker
'Funny, melancholy yarn' **** The Guardian
'Gentle musical comedy about fame and fandom' **** The Independent

We're starting the year with a funny, bittersweet film that was one of the best of the last year - the best according to 'Love Actually' director Richard Curtis.

The excellent Tim Key is Charles, a reclusive lottery winner who has his own island. His favourite band of all time is folk duo McGwyer Mortimer (played by Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan). Sadly they split when the couple broke up. But Charles has a plan to get the band back together, and invites them to his island for a grand reunion gig. But he doesn't reveal the size of the audience (one). And he fails to tell McGwyer that he's also invited his ex.

SUPERB THRILLER, TWO GREAT STARS

3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR (cert 15)
7:00pm Saturday December 13th
St Peter's Centre, Church St, Staithes


Our tribute to the late, great Robert Redford who died in September

On a seemingly ordinary day, Joe Turner (Robert Redford), a quiet CIA codebreaker, walks into his workplace after lunch and finds that all of his coworkers have been murdered. Horrified, Joe flees the scene and tries to tell his supervisors about the tragedy. But, he soon learns that CIA higher-ups were involved in the murders. With no one to trust, and a merciless hit man (Max von Sydow) close on his tail, Joe must somehow survive long enough to figure out why his own agency wants him dead, dragging innocent bystander Kathy (Faye Dunnaway) into the chase.

PARTHENOPE (cert 15)


7:00pm Saturday November 29th
St Peter's Centre, Church St, Staithes

"WILDLY ROMANTIC"


From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino comes a monumental and deeply romantic story of a lifetime.

Born in the Bay of Naples in 1950, Parthenope (newcomer Celeste Dalla Porta) searches for happiness over the long summers of her youth, falling in love with her home city and its many memorable characters. But when tragedy strikes, and carefree romances lose their thrill, she decides to seek a deeper sense of purpose. Featuring a captivating performance from Dalla Porta and an outstanding cast that includes Gary Oldman, PARTHENOPE is another tale of great beauty from a master of modern cinema, unfolding over several decades.

DEATH ON THE MOORS - a Murder Mystery at St Peter's Centre

John Hamlin

ST PETER'S CENTRE PRESENTS - AN ORIGINAL SMUGGLERS TALE

A MURDER MYSTERY by the THE RAILWAY PLAYERS 

“DEATH ON THE MOORS”

Step back to the year 1794, when smugglers ruled the valley and danger lurked across the dark moors. At the notorious Waggon and Horses Inn — later known as the Saltersgate — a man was murdered, his body hidden for nearly two centuries. The walls kept their secret, the fire never went out, and the legend of the restless spirit was born…

Now, over a delicious meal, you’ll be drawn into the mystery. Clues will be revealed, secrets uncovered, and perhaps the truth — or the ghost — will finally rise from the ashes.

Join us, if you dare, for a night of food, intrigue, and murder most foul.
