Cave of Forgotten Dreams Saturday, 14 January
We are pleased to offer another fundraising film night at No.6 Cinema with the screening of Werner Herzogs Cave of Forgotten dreams (2010) on Saturday 14 January. Herzog gained exclusive access to film inside the Chauvet caves of Southern France, capturing the oldest known pictorial creations of humankind in their astonishing naturasl setting. Projected in digital quality on the huge No.6 Cinema screen, this will be a stunning experience!
Entrance fee will be 10GBP which will include a glass of wine or a soft drink to be enjoyed before the film.
All proceeds from the screening will go to the Friends of No.6 Cinema fund to be used to re-open No.6 Cinema on a permanent basis. Thank you for your continuing support!





CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS (U)
Film Starts at 7pm. Refreshments available from 6.30pm

Director: Werner Herzog. France/Canada/USA/UK/Germany 2010. 90 mins.

Following ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD, Herzog once again takes us deep behind the frontier of an extraordinary place. Having gained unprecedented access through the tightest of restrictions, he has captured on film the interior of the Chauvet Cave in southern France. This is where the worlds oldest cave paintings were discovered in 1994. In the mesmerising CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS, he reveals to us a breathtaking subterranean world and leads us to the 32,000-year-old artworks. In true Herzogian fashion, his hypnotically engaging narration weaves in wider metaphysical contemplations as we learn more about the Palaeolithic art and its creators; we are invited to reflect on our primal desire to communicate and represent the world around us, evolution and our place within it, and ultimately what it means to be human.

Film and Chocolate Night

Saturday, 10 December 2011

By Melissa Hanson

How many times have you been panic-stricken when around someone you are attracted to? In the lovely french film, Romantics Anonymous, two emotionally-challenged people meet and fall in love at a chocolate factory. Angelique ( Isabelle Carre) is an out-of-work chocolate maker who goes to Emotions Anonymous to cope with her fears of intimacy. She takes a job at a failing chocolate factory and then her boss, Jean-Rene ( Benoit Poelvoorde), asks her out to dinner on the behest of his therapist.
The depth of the characters and their performances make this a sweet and new slant on the typical romantic comedy. Based on his experiences and of those around him, director and co-scriptwriter, Jean-Pierre Ameristells the story in such a way that the characters become real people. Through their actions, we see them struggle and even sing to themselves to calm down. Both performances are so vulnerable and engaging. They are very likeable and manage to keep that level of likability throughout.
Chocolate. Oh, chocolate. We eat it when we are happy, we eat it when we are sad. Without going into too much detail, you manage to get an idea of just how complicated it is to make the delicious confection and how many varieties there can be. It is a fantastic backdrop to the story... Read more
The perfect accompaniment for this heart-warming film , Dawn Shrives from Le Salon Du Chocolat will be on hand before the film to guide you through the best ways to get to know chocolate, how to taste it, and what to look out for when purchasing it. She will be offering insider knowledge and tasting tips for those who would like to develop their appreciation of chocolate.

Event starts at 19.00
Film starts at 20.00
Entrance 10 GBP to include a glass of wine.
