Maldon Film Club's 20th season continues in October with the screening of Black Box on Tuesday, October 8 and The Phantom of the Open on October 22.

Black Box tells the story of Matthieu, a young and talented black box analyst who is on a mission to solve the reason behind the deadly crash of a brand new aircraft. When the case is closed by the authorities Matthieu senses there is something wrong with the evidence. 

As he listens to the tracks again he starts detecting some seriously disturbing details. Going against the orders of his boss he begins his own rogue investigation in a quest for the truth; a course of action that will threaten far more than just his career.

The Phantom of the Open is the largely true story of Maurice Flitcroft, a dreamer and unrelenting optimist,who is a crane operator at a shipyard in Barrow – in – Furness. 

With pluckiness and an unwavering self belief, Maurice managed to enter the 1976 Open despite never playing a round of golf before. This is an uplifting and moving comedy drama about pursuing your dreams and shooting for the stars regardless of the hand you have been dealt.

The films for November are the award winning One Life starting Anthony Hopkins and Pig starring Nicholas Cage.
