Maldon Film Club continues to go from strength to strength, as its successful 19th season finishes with the screening of Official Competition and Living.

Of the 19 films screened in 2023/24, a majority received an approval rating by club members of over 70%.

Two films, Cinema Paradiso and Where The Crawdads Sing, topped the 90% mark, and three films, A Man Called Otto, Lunana-A Yak in the Classroom and Mrs Harris Goes to Paris, scored over 85%.

After a very successful 19th season Maldon Film Club is already preparing for the new season, which begins on Tuesday 10th September 2024 and continues until Wednesday 28th May 2025.

The 2024/25 season programme, which is heavily influenced by the members' votes, will cover a wide variety of themes with films from different regions of the world.

Many of the 19 films to be screened have received Oscar awards and/or nominations and, as usual, the programme will offer something for everybody.

Watch this space for further details of our 2024/25 season, including a full list of the films to be screened, which will appear in next month's edition.

Maldon Film Club, which was formed in 2005, meets at Maldon Town Hall on a Tuesday evening (September to December), and then on a Wednesday from January until the end of the season. There are some 170 members.

The price of next season's annual subscription will be £30, which entitles members to free admission to all of the season's 19 films, less than £1.60 per film!

In addition, there are a limited number of places for junior members aged 16-18 in full-time education, at the reduced cost of £20.

Members' guests pay just £4.

As a member, you will be asked to give your reaction to the films you have seen and also help the committee compile the programme for the following season. Membership is open to all and new members will be made very welcome
