Welcome to Lenham Community Centre
Lenham Film Club
The Roses Friday 13th February 7.30pm
and a special screening of Somewhere in England Friday 27th February doors open 6pm screening 6.30pm
February sees us bring you not one but two films!
We start with the blockbuster, star-studded comedy The Roses (2025). Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch) in this black comedy: successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites. There is definitely trouble ahead for the Roses!
Performance is Friday 13th February, doors open 19.00 and film begins at 19.30.
Director: Jay Roach, running time 2 hrs 1 min.
Tickets are £5 for adults, £2 for under 16s, cash only, on the door.
Refreshments
We sell red & white wine, teas, coffees and soft drinks at reasonable prices. We rely on takings to fund the club and ask that you support us by not bringing your own alcohol to our performances. Thank-you!
We look forward to seeing you there.
We have a special screening later in February – we’re proud to show Somewhere in England, an original British musical promoting the work of Gordon Caleb, a mostly unknown and unrecognised late British composer. The film is a salute to the great Hollywood musicals and to classic British cinema of the 1940s and 50s. We step back in time to the summer of 1943, with the arrival of a US army unit and its impact on the lives of a small community in rural England. Entirely shot in Bethersden, the film presents 19 stand-alone songs as a visual album, in a black and white format, with contemporary styling. The eclectic cast is made up of professional performers from London and talent from the local area, some of whom will be present at the screening along with the producer/director, Sheila Daniels.
Free entry, donation on the night to filmmaker funding appreciated.
Performance on Friday 27th is earlier than usual – doors open 18.00, film begins 18.30.
Director Sheila Daniels, running time 1 hr 18 mins.
A big thank you to Barbara and LenARA for organising the Lenham Community Centre fundraising dance, and all those who sold tickets, donated to the raffle and came along.
We raised £1000!
