Frome Film Club
WHEN
Frome Film Club screens 10 films in each season, on the second Wednesday of each month between September and July. Screenings begin at 8pm.
WHERE
Screenings take place at The Merlin Theatre.
Members tickets are transferable, so if you are unable to make it to the film you can pass the ticket on to a friend. Tickets for non-members are available from the Merlin box office on the night, or to pre-book via this website, and you do not need to be accompanied by a member. All revenue from tickets sold on the night goes to the Merlin Theatre.
We currently screen mainly from Blu-ray dvd, and these and non-Blu-ray dvds then become part of a borrowing library for members to use free of charge.
FEEDBACK
As members leave the auditorium, they can choose to place a bean in a box to rate the film from 1 to 5 stars. From this, each film is given a percentage score, which are shared with members throughout the season.
ABOUT
Frome Film Club was launched in 2011 as a way of bringing a more diverse range of films to a wider audience in Frome, and to increase interest in and turnout for films at the Merlin Theatre. The club is run by a small group of volunteers, with stewarding provided by the theatre.
The films on the programme are generally picked from recent releases, and our aim is to show films that have not been shown locally or had wide exposure nationally.
Visit Frome Film Club website for information on how to join.
LINOLEUM – FROME FILM CLUB
Cameron Edwin (Jim Gaffigan), the host of a failing children’s science TV show called ‘Above and Beyond’, has always had aspirations of being an astronaut. Surreal events begin unfolding around him and he slowly starts to piece these events together to ultimately reveal that there’s more to his life story than he once thought.
