A new film club is launching in Lichfield.

dffhof_posterA_webThe Lichfield Film group is aiming to show movies at a range of venues across the city.

The launch night will see award-winning eco-documentary Drying for Freedom screened at Wade Street Hall on Wednesday (May 1), as part of the Hanging Out Festival.

Spokesperson Lucy Beth said: “The lack of a cinema in Lichfield is something which is constantly discussed and has recently received coverage, with the petition to restore the old Regal building and possibility of a multiplex in a few years times.

“While these are both wonderful projects, it does not rectify the situation now.

“The launch of Lichfield Film aims to bring a relaxed cinematic experience to the city.

“There will be regular screenings at venues around the city centre, showing a mix of new, independent and classic films.”

The screening of Drying for Freedom starts at 7.30pm. Tickets are £5 on the door.

Founder of Lichfield Live and editor of the site.

“Spokesperson Lucy Beth ” I suggest the advert (not the above item) needs someone to check it over .There are a number of ways to satisfy the cinema crowd.
You are trying one – another is bus the people to a cinema. If there are a lot of people in favour it should be easy to hire a bus/coach/tandem and make a profit.
