Digitally restored for its 50th anniversary this is a light-hearted look at the life of the Fab Four that captures the scene at the moment their world went crazy. Mischievous and joyful.

Infamous as the place where Bob Dylan “went electric” in 1965, The Newport Folk Festival was a stalwart among folk music-lovers ever since its inception in 1959. This film, narrated by Joan Armatrading, celebrates the history and legacy of this seminal event, with performances and discussions with the likes of Joan Baez, Judy Collins, the Indigo Girls and the late Pete Seeger.

FIRST WORLD WAR ON FILM 2014 marks one hundred years since the outbreak of World War One, a war of firsts; the first tank, the first war fought in the air and the first fought by civilians in uniform, killed on a scale we could not imagine.

This evening of rare archive film examines the war and its stories from surviving footage. Film itself was a new invention and the pictures are sometimes shaky and faded but capture something of the madness of trench life and propaganda of the time. Includes a fragment showing the Herefordshire Regiment itself in 1914.
