Hello all. Hasnāt the last month flown by? Itās already just 24 hour until Septemberās Afternoon Cinema and Iāve not sent out the usual email. Apologies if you rely on receiving this earlier in the month to plan your visit. Iām blaming my ADHD.

The Salt Path - Tuesday 16th September at 2pm
On Tuesday, 16th September, the Burntwood Afternoon Cinema will be showing The Salt Path. The film, starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, is an adaptation of the bestselling book by Raynor Winn. It tells the story of a couple who, having lost their home and their livelihood, decide to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path.
It's a story about resilience and the British landscape, but it's also one that has sparked a bit of a debate. As you may have seen in the media, questions have been raised about how much of the "true story" is actually true. This adds an interesting layer to the film, turning it from a simple tale of endurance into a conversation about where we draw the line between memoir and fiction.
Join us to see the film and make your own mind up. Itās a compelling story, regardless of the recent fuss, and promises an interesting afternoon's viewing. We'll be at the Burntwood Memorial Institute as usual, with doors opening at 1:30pm for a cuppa before the film starts at 2pm.
You can buy online at https://aard.at/bwoodfilms, on the phone at 01543 412121, or in cash on the door.

We try to make our afternoon showings dementia and autism-friendly. Volume levels are reasonable, the room is never completely dark, and there is an interval around halfway through the film.
