Chorlton Film Institute

I read on an informative framed poster in the local Wetherspoons that Chorlton used to have 3 cinemas. Now it has 0. For those of us without a car it can be a bit of a trek to Didsbury, the Trafford Centre or the Cornerhouse to catch a flick.
Thank God for Chorlton Film Institute (and I suppose the man upstairs actually is partly to thank as it is located in St. Clement’s Church.) Each month an arthouse film is shown. They span a very broad range from foreign films such as the wonderful Das Leben der Anderen, modern films such as Juno and old silent films such as Hitchcock’s The Lodger.
At £5 a time (including refreshments) this is cheaper than it would cost to go to any of Manchester’s cinemas, and the institute does not make a profit from this. You don’t need to be a member — turn up and pay on the door — simples. If you join the facebook group then you will automatically receive an invite to each screening.
Such a fantastic idea. Just a shame that screenings are monthly and not weekly!
