TMH
Film Night
bringing cinema to the heart of your village
Cinema in your village hall
During 2018/2019 a small team worked to secure funding to improve the audio-visual facilities in the Memorial Hall. We were successful in
our bid and we now have the equipment installed in the hall which
enables us to develop our cinema project in Thorverton.
​
Under the umbrella of the Memorial Hall Committee we are able to show films of various genres, both older and recent releases.
We aim to present an entertaining and enjoyable range of films each season suitable for individual and family audiences.
​
We anticipate that films will be regularly shown during a ten month season, leaving the opportunity to run possible special film events
in the other two months as the project develops.
​
All films will be screened in the Memorial Hall where
ice creams, soft drinks, tea and coffee are available to purchase
and the a bar is open before and after the film showing.
​
Join us throughout the year for some excellent films and
help make the TMH cinema events a real success.
You will be welcome.
Welcome to TMH film nights
Spring 2025
We will continue to ensure you can watch our films
in a safe and secure way, showing respect to all.
THE CRITIC
FRIDAY 17th JANUARY
Set in 1930s London, The Critic revolves around a feared theatre critic named Jimmy Erskine (Ian McKellen), his loyal assistant, a newspaper owner (Mark Strong) who wants to get rid of the critic, and an actress (Gemma Arterton) who has been devastated by his excoriating theatrical reviews. The critic's determination to survive ensures that the other characters are caught in a web of blackmail, deceit and murder.
THELMA
FRIDAY 21st FEBRUARY
June Squibb, who did most of her own stunts in the film, plays Thelma Post, a feisty 93-year-old grandmother who gets conned by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson (Fred Hechinger), and sets out on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles, accompanied by an aging friend (Richard Roundtree) and his motorized scooter, to reclaim what was taken from her. With Malcolm McDowell.
CONCLAVE
FRIDAY 21st MARCH
Based on Robert Harris’s best-selling novel about a papal election. Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) is tasked with running this covert process after the unexpected death of the beloved Pope. Once the Catholic Church's most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence uncovers a trail of deep secrets left in the dead Pope's wake - secrets which could shake the foundations of the Church.
SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE
FRIDAY 18th APRIL
Based on the novella by Claire Keegan. Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy) is a coal merchant in small-town 1980s Ireland. Everybody in the town knows that the local convent is one of the infamous Magdalene Laundries, but everybody feigns ignorance because the nuns have far-reaching power and influence in the community. When Bill, himself the child of a single mother, finds a bruised and shivering young woman locked in the convent coal shed on a bitterly cold December day, he knows that any action on his part will cost him dear.
