EVENTS

ELSTREE FILM FESTIVAL II
Monday 25th - Friday 29th June 2007

20.05.07
The Elstree Film and Television Heritage Group (EFTHG) will be running the Elstree Film Festival II during the last week in June, and this year will be screening a trio of Hammer films, including On the Buses, Scars of Dracula and The Devil Rides Out.

The EFTHG exists solely to promote the film heritage of Borehamwood, working to maintain that legacy with local schools and recording the experiences of local residents who previously worked within the industry. The first film festival last year was a great success, with fans coming from as far away as Manchester to revel in the big screen outings.

ON THE BUSES opens the festival on 25 June, with the screening preceded by a gala opening ceremony, complete with double decker bus and guests. Its hoped that there will be special guests connected with the films, as last year.

Tickets for each event cost £7.00 with discounts on offer if tickets are bought for other events during the week.

Each film will be shown back on the big screen, where it belongs.  Watching a DVD on your television does not compare to seeing … and hearing … these classic films in a professional cinema.

 

Each screening will include a Q&A session after the film, when members of the audience will have their chance to ask our invited guests who took part in the making of the film, either in front or behind the cameras.

 

AND …. This is your only chance to see ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ in a cinema ANYWHERE this year !   All other screenings have been cancelled while the new Indiana Jones film is in production.
