September – December 2013
Dear Flicks Fan, We have great pleasure in presenting our Autumn 2013 season brochure; as usual it’s packed with a wide range of films, chosen by the communities we work with.
@FlicksinSticks Flicks in the Sticks
Flicks is a unique service – we are not a commercial organisation, and rely on public funding and donations to help us deliver our service. We work with local promoters who, on behalf of their community, help organise the screenings, undertake publicity distribution and organise the venue on the night. They are nearly all volunteers. Flicks is unlike other cinema providers. We organise films locally where home-made refreshments are reasonably priced, as are the costs of tickets to see the films.
Although we feel positive about the future, we are mindful that local authorities and our main funders are likely to be making even more cuts over the next two years – some organisations may lose all their funding. So anything you can do to help keep the service running would be much appreciated – including coming along to see the films! If you would like more info about our work and how to help even more, then please visit www.artsalive.co.uk Ian Kerry / Terri Jones at Flicks in the Sticks
t: 01588 620883 e: ian@artsalive.co.uk w: www.artsalive.co.uk Blue Barn Green Lane Churchstoke SY15 6EN Due to circumstances beyond our control, film titles can sometimes change at the last minute – please check with the venue before travelling!

The films are often just a good excuse for the community to come together for a shared experience, food and wine, and a good natter.

Good Vibrations Directors: Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn British Biography/Drama/Music 103 mins Cert 15 Jodie Whittaker, Dylan Moran, Richard Dormer Eager to shift thoughts away from the troubles of the 1970s, music fanatic Terri Hooley (Richard Dormer, Game of Thrones) opens a record store, Good Vibrations, in the heart of one of Belfast's roughest districts. As the shop gains a loyal following, Terri decides to start a small record label with the aim of launching some of the local bands he's discovered, including The Undertones whose first single, Teenage Kicks, is soon championed by legendary Radio 1 DJ John Peel. A heart-warming and hilarious true story, Good Vibrations is not a feel-good film, it’s a feel-great film!

Summer in February Director: Christopher Menaul British Biography/Drama/Romance 100 mins Cert 15 Dominic Cooper, Emily Browning, Dan Stevens
Hyde Park on Hudson Director: Roger Michell British Biography/Comedy/Drama 90 mins, Cert 12a Bill Murray, Laura Linney, Samuel West, Olivia Williams In 1930s Hudson Valley, Margaret 'Daisy' Suckley is reacquainted with her distant cousin, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to help him relax at his family estate. That aid soon develops into much more as they become lovers. That puts Daisy in a unique position as Roosevelt receives the King and Queen of Britain in 1939 for a visit. As the Royal couple copes with the President's oddly plebeian arrangements, Daisy learns that there is far more to Roosevelt's life than she realized. With the world about to be set ablaze by war, friendships are struck and perspectives are gained on that special weekend that would make all the difference with a great, but very human, president.
The Newlyn School of artists flourished at the beginning of the 20th Century and the film focuses on the wild and bohemian Lamorna Group, which included Alfred Munnings and Laura and Harold Knight. The incendiary anti-Modernist Munnings, now regarded as one of Britain's most sought-after artists, is at the centre of the complex love triangle, involving aspiring artist Florence Carter-Wood and Gilbert Evans, the land agent in charge of the Lamorna Valley estate. True – and deeply moving – the story is played out against the timeless beauty of the Cornish coast, in the approaching shadow of The Great War.
Under Milk Wood Director: Andrew Sinclair British Comedy/Drama 88 mins Cert 15 Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Peter O'Toole, David Jason, Ruth Madoc, Glynis Johns, Vivien Merchant
